Students gain five thousand pounds worth of business training

14.06.2005

University of Brighton students have secured over five thousand pounds worth of free business training from world-renowned university business centres.

Rebecca Robertson and Hill Choi Lee, both studying for a Communications and Media Studies degree have been selected for the SEEDA Enterprisers Programme. Jack Forester has been selected for the Flying Start Programme which will be held at the University of Cambridge.

The courses are for students who want to make a difference with their ideas, start up businesses, or learn new skills in running enterprising projects.

The three students have all attended the University of Brighton's intensive programme of master classes in entrepreneurship run by Business Development Manager Jane L. North, which helped them beat off stiff competition to secure a place on these courses.

Jane said: "These courses provide students with a fantastic opportunity to develop their entrepreneurial potential."

Jane has also developed the Beepurple network to support and encourage entrepreneurship through a business start up forum, business talks - by successful city entrepreneurs, expert 1-2-1 advice to explore innovative or entrepreneurial ideas and Innovation Awards that publicly recognise and reward innovation.
