Target Audience: Postgraduate Research Students

Participants will examine how to make a living that is aligned with their personal motivations, and consider business and enterprise from that angle. Business doesn't have to be about the pinstripe suits or Dragon's Den. Instead, we will explore the distinctive nature of social enterprise, as well as the challenges and benefits of running a business that is based on your own personal values.

By the end of this programme participants will:

  • Heard from guest speakers about their own journeys to setting up values-driven organisations and projects
  • Developed a greater understanding of their personal values and sense of direction and how these might fit with running a business
  • Learned about core business functions, including thinking strategically, finding funding and getting the right people on board for their team
  • Practiced problem solving, creative thinking, collaborative working and influencing skills
  • Considered how their skills, creativity and self-reliance can translate into future opportunities - whether in their career or more widely.
