Enterprise sessions

We have a range of workshop style lessons that can support staff to deliver Enterprise Skills to students, providing them with the knowledge required to understand how they can go about starting their own enterprise, and all the necessary skills to be successful in their entrepreneurship journey.

The following workshops are designed for lecturers to deliver independently with full resources provided, but we can create bespoke workshops which can be delivered by Industry Role Models.
