The Enterprise Adviser designs and delivers a range of activities designed to help students and graduates to develop entrepreneurial skills and to start and grow new ventures.
The role-holder will provide direct support to student entrepreneurs via 1-1 appointments and workshops delivered as part of our annual competition the Enterprise Challenge, which attracts over 100 applicants each year. They will also deliver in-curricular guest lectures in a range of modules to encourage students from all different subjects to develop entrepreneurial skills.
