CCCG invites guest speakers and members of the Ukrainian community to attend a special event providing support for new businesses and advice on UK tax management.

Capital City College Group (CCCG) collaborated with the Ukrainian Educational Hub to provide valuable information for entrepreneurs at an event held at Westminster Kingsway College’s (WestKing) Regent’s Park Centre on 15 March.

The network of Ukrainian Educational Hubs is dedicated to supporting lifelong learning for Ukrainian children and adults, with the aim of helping them navigate pathways to successful careers. The event, which focused on sharing knowledge and expertise on starting a business in Great Britain and tax management, attracted over 100 attendees from the Ukrainian community.

Jackie Chapman, Executive Director, Growth and Partnerships at Capital City College Training (CCCT), opened the event by giving a short introduction and welcoming everyone on behalf of CCCG. The first guest speaker was Martin Thompson, a British ambassador for Ukrainian Educational Hubs in Great Britain and an experienced entrepreneur. Martin shared his valuable expertise on how to start and manage a business in the UK. The second guest speaker was David Clare, the North London Area Lead and Barnet Facilitator for the Federation of Small Businesses, who delivered a useful and informative presentation on managing taxes in the UK

Finally, Olena Melnyk, Admin Team Leader at CCCT, shared information about CCCG’s wide range of highly relevant free courses such as Start Your Own Business, Computerised Accounting for Business – Level 1 Award and offerings from CCCG’s Digital Skills Hub.

After the presentations, attendees had time to learn more about the extensive range of free education initiatives offered by CCCG. The event concluded with a highly productive networking session, where guests had the opportunity to meet with other entrepreneurs and broaden their professional network.

Jackie Chapman said: “We were delighted to host the event for the Ukrainian Educational Hub. It was great to see so many attendees seeking to learn how to set up a new business. We hope that the college can help further, providing courses that meet the needs of the Ukrainian community.”
