Course Description

Our industry weeks are designed to give learners a chance to further develop the practical skills that organisations are looking for to remain competitive in the 21 Century. Perhaps the most important skill sets needed in today's fast pace and changing world are those associated with creativity, enterprise, innovation and entrepreneurship.

All three of our industry weeks  link together to give the learner the opportunity to develop, shape, and build new ventures of their own. The outputs from each industry week contribute to the learner's final summer school course (New Venture Creation).
