We will be running three career-focused IRDR enterprise workshops to complement our academic programmes. The events will enable students to identify their career goals and get best prepared to achieve them. This is the first of the three workshops.
This online workshop will help you develop your entrepreneurial thinking and start to recognise and use your entrepreneurial skills. We will explore this from a global humanitarian impact perspective.
By the end of the workshop you’ll be better able to:
- develop ideas that create value and make a difference to others;
- identify stakeholders who can help you move an idea forward; and
- set goals to progress your enterprising activity.
