Entrepreneurship Week at the University of Birmingham Dubai - Roshni Barot

Last week the University launched Entrepreneurship Week, designed to help students develop their enterprise skills that are crucial within the world of work.

During the week we had  6 employers  from a diverse range of business, contribute to a panel discussion event, deliver a keynote speech, deliver a workshop on how to design a business and a employability trek where students went off campus to visit a start-up. 

Employers included HSBC, PwC and a social enterprise, Palastyle (a business that empowers refuge women). 

     

    “It was great for me to see a different side entrepreneurship that I did not previously understand and care about. Now I might just become a social entrepreneur”

     In total 42% of the student population at University of Birmingham Dubai attended throughout the week (Exluding PGCE and part-time students).
