The Venture Programme
Venture shapes, supports and
develops students and graduates
to start up their business, to
enter self-employment or start
freelancing. Venture equips
students with entrepreneurial skills
to innovate within an organisation,
a skill sought by employers.
Employer Engagement
We offer opportunities for employers
to Engage, Place and Recruit our
students and graduates, as well as
assisting them to Promote their
organisation to raise their profile
amongst our students. We also
signpost employers to support from
other areas across the University.
The CIP provides opportunities for
our current students to undertake
a 2, 4 or 10 week paid internship
working for a small or medium-
sized enterprise (SME).
