I want to train women in basic IT

[ladynade]

I have wanted to train women in IT for a long while now and keep "researching" but not actually doing anything about it but now I have given myself 3 months to get my act together. But I am confused as I think I need to set up a business first (ltd company?) before I can apply for any funding...is this correct? or should I set myself upo as a charity? Want to target immigrant women/ or speakers of other languages/or just those who are at a disadvantage - another worry is would this market be a profitable one? Am confused as to the best approach any ideas anyone?

Have a look at the learning skills council website. I think they have resources in most areas to advise on training initiatives and may also be able to offer funding

OK checking it out now before LOST starts....

excellent website soapbox which has also led me to this which lists grants, awards, loans...so thank you!
