Event description

Entrepreneurship
This event will take place on GLOW and presenters require a DBS/Disclosure Scotland check

A lot of the productivity growth, innovation, and the new employment opportunities that are coming up in today’s business environment are driven by enterprise and entrepreneurs. Enterprise skills can be described as highly transferable skills that allow people to navigate within a complex world and successfully overcome any challenges they come across.
Employees with enterprise and entrepreneurial skills can consider the current and future needs of their organisations and combine them with new approaches and methods to drive innovation within their organisations. An Entrepreneur will speak to pupils about their journey and inspire them to think about how they might be able to follow this career pathway.

In this session, business leaders will share insights, lessons and tips to motivate and inspire your students to make informed decisions about their future.

Speakers will ‘tell a story’ about their career journey:
• Subjects they studied and how these are relevant now
• What inspired them to choose their career path
• Their failures, as well as successes
• What their company does and why this is important
• What they enjoy most about their career
• Skills currently relevant in the jobs they are doing now.
