UltraViolet summer course

Beepurple’s Intensive Business Start-Up Summer Course
Dates: Monday 11 – Friday 15 June 2012, 10:00am-4:00pm
Venue: Moulsecoomb campus

UltraViolet is Beepurple’s Intensive Business Start-Up Course aimed at final years and graduates. Over the course of five days, course attendees will develop their entrepreneurial skills and also learn how to become self-employed and more enterprising – something which they may not have covered during their degree.

By the end of the course, attendees will have developed the following skills:

  • Business ideas development and creative thinking
  • Opportunity seeking and analysis
  • Negotiation and selling
  • Communication and networking
  • Marketing
  • Financial planning
  • Business planning
  • Leadership

Attendees will also learn about the legalities of starting up a business and how to protect their intellectual property and have the chance to meet local entrepreneurs, and learn from their successes and experiences of setting up and running a business. 

The course will be full of practical challenges to put your skills to the test and include a Charity Challenge, where you will be fundraising for a local charity, and you will also have the chance to enter an elevator pitch competition to win £200!

This course is designed for final years and graduates who would like to develop their own business ideas and gain some essential enterprise skills relevant for self-employment or employment. You can view a sample schedule for the course, although the final schedule for 2012 is still to be confirmed.
