UltraViolet summer course
Beepurple’s Intensive Business Start-Up Summer Course
Dates: Monday 10 – Friday 14 June 2013, 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 (pdf 385kb) for the course, although the final schedule for 2013 is still to be confirmed.
