It will provide students with the opportunity to prepare for enterprise by developing entrepreneurial skills and a business plan. Attending 4 days a week, students on this programme will be required to wear business suits or smart office wear every day. Approximately 50% of the course delivery will be from external employers and business owners as guest speakers. The course is designed for ambitious people who want to run their own business. Students will need to have some ideas for a small business venture which they can implement as part of the course assessment. Students will be based in new modern office style rooms, take part in social enterprise and volunteering and undertake 4 weeks work placement as a business consultant in term 2. Graduates will be invited to attend a national graduation ceremony hosted by Peter Jones CBE.
