Enterprise Workshops

An enterprising curriculum provides opportunities for students to become confident and creative problem-solvers, apply their academic knowledge to real-world challenges, and build the resilience to manage limited resources under uncertainty. This translates into a richer learning experience and a boost to the students’ confidence and employability. Brookes Enterprise Support can help you deliver these training opportunities directly to your students.
