The purpose of our work in Further Education is to create

cross-curriculum entrepreneurial communities for any

college student to be part of, acting as a hub for

entrepreneurial opportunities, and fostering an

entrepreneurial mind-set amongst learners.

Enterprise Societies

“An enterprise society or club is an extracurricular and student-led group that

attracts and supports enterprising and entrepreneurial students no matter what they

study..

The structure and how they work will vary, nevertheless, they all aim to educate, inspire and connect enterprising students and provide

them with opportunities to learn by doing.”
