The Collaborative Entrepreneur - Three-day Enterprise Summer School
Entrepreneurs are often viewed as independent people. This three-day Summer School dispels this myth and shows that successful ventures are achieved by people collaborating together. Learn about yourself, how to work effectively in a team and collaborate on finding a solution to a real commercial problem set by a local business. Prizes are awarded to the team who make the most compelling presentation on the final day!
The 2016 Summer School took place on 14 – 16 June 2016. This event takes place annually so if you are interested in taking part in future events or would like further information, please email [email protected] or telephone Careers on 023 8059 3501.
