We are proud to offer programs and events that cater to different segments of our community, fostering growth, collaboration, and success for businesses and individuals alike.
Programs & Initiatives
Our Key Initiatives
Our "Business After Hours" events provide a relaxed and informal environment for local business owners and professionals to network, share ideas, and build valuable relationships. These gatherings are perfect for making new connections, discovering business opportunities, and staying updated on the latest industry trends.
The "Shop Ashburton" initiative aims to boost the local economy by encouraging residents to shop locally. The intent behind the program is to keep money within the community, support local jobs, and foster a thriving local marketplace.
To ensure that our community remains competitive and skilled, OCCI partners with RTO's to offer a range of short courses across various disciplines. Designed to be flexible and accessible, our short courses help individuals and businesses stay ahead in a rapidly changing economy.
The "Women of Onslow" initiative celebrates and supports the incredible contributions of women in our community. Through networking events, professional development workshops, and advocacy efforts, we aim to empower women in business, promote gender equality, and create a supportive network for female professionals and entrepreneurs.
Our "Volunteer Hub" connects local volunteers with community projects and organizations in need of support. Whether you're looking to give back or need volunteers for your project, the Volunteer Hub is your go-to resource.
