ATI Projects - Our Sectors

Community Enterprise

Many businesses have their roots within the community – when starting a business was for some the only alternative to unemployment. The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) shows that business start-up levels are as high in disadvantaged communities as anywhere else. ATI is engaged in projects which raise business opportunity and aspiration through the development of community-based enterprise centres, business networking and support services.
