Title: Entrepreneurial mindsets, behaviours and skills: How do we create more opportunities for our students?

Presenter: Lynda Povey

Venue: Please report to DCQE Staff Development Room, First Floor (Mercantile House) for registration.

Please note: Mercantile House and Floor 1 are swipe access only. Please ensure you arrive promptly for the start of the session as we are not able to guarantee you will be able to access the building after this time. If you are unable to access the building please call 023 9284 3327.

This session will explore the value of Self-Employed Placements (SEPs) and look at how we can encourage our students to create their own futures whilst contributing to the UK economy and our standing in the world.

As academics are the enablers of change in the curriculum we will aim to address how we can build upon graduate creativity and flair that is known to exist but is currently under-exploited. Case studies from our own students and their SEP experiences will demonstrate how we can encourage controlled risk-taking, allow market testing and develop the entrepreneurial mind-set within a supported environment.

Can these opportunities lead to a new generation of graduate enterprises, creating much needed new and high value-added employment?"
