Self Employment and Enterprise

Increasingly students and graduates are considering starting their own business rather than going to work for someone else.  Even if you’re not planning to set up your own business, being enterprising and getting involved in enterprising activities is a good way to enhance your CV, gain new skills and network with new people.

Enterprise is about having ideas, doing something about them and developing a set of skills to help you approach problems creatively and make the most of a situation. You can then transfer this knowledge to your studies, your future employment and your everyday life.
