Who do I need?

To make these sessions easily accessible they are held on campus within the Careers and Employment offices. To book an appointment visit Handshake.
- Enterprise Workshops - our workshops are a must for anyone that needs the skills to support their business idea, freelance venture or start-up. A specially designed schedule of interactive workshops, boot-camps and events have been planned to equip you with the essential tools to be your own boss. Workshops we regularly hold are as follows: ‘Generating ideas’, ‘Setting up an online business’ and ‘How to write a business plan’. To book in at a workshop visit Handshake.
