Entrepreneur • e course: 20 places available each year. The WAB Entrepreneurial Course is for everyone. The objective is to enable everyone to overcome all the barriers limiting access to entrepreneurship by providing adequate equipment (access to a workstation, a computer, a broadband connection, etc.) and access to a network of professionals. Training involves several factors, including creativity, financing, marketing, communication, digital skills, management, accounting and management.

Context: The WAB is a Cooperative Company of Collective Interest, created in August 2016 in the Priority Quarter in Bergerac and which brings together both private and public subscribers. At the heart of this objective of the territory's digital transition is on the one hand the desire to support small businesses in their development thanks to digital technology and on the other hand the desire to offer the possibility of continuing post-baccalaureate studies free and of high quality in rural areas, in priority neighbourhoods.
