SERC Readying for Global Entrepreneurship Week

South Eastern Regional College (SERC) are scheduled to host a full programme of activities as part of Global Entrepreneurship Week 8-12 November.

Lizzie Buick Deputy Director of Enterprise and Entrepreneurship said “Global Entrepreneurship Week gives us the opportunity to focus on the possibilities open to students thinking about their own start-ups and illustrates how they can apply their vocation skills in a business environment, regardless of what they are studying.

“Throughout the week we will have daily entrepreneurship content for students, staff and the public to enjoy. The content will include videos from entrepreneurs such as Katie Matthews and Gerry White, profiles on local entrepreneurs and more."

Lizze added “It is always great to hear from real people who seized the opportunity to be their own boss and, every day, steer a business in the direction they choose. We believe the week’s events will be beneficial to all and that the stories told will inspire others to turn their ideas and dreams into reality".

She concluded “At SERC our Entrepreneurs Club aim is to provide a forum for students to network and share ideas, provide an environment that will foster innovation and entrepreneurship and help students cultivate and develop their own ideas.”

As well as the daily content which will be made available on the college website, SERC’s Entrepreneurs Club are excited to host the very first SERC Enterprise Evening.
