Did you know that employers are really impressed by graduate applicants who can demonstrate that they are enterprising individuals for example, working freelance or running their own venture no matter how small? So no matter what your idea, from selling cakes or a freelance designer to setting up your own start-up IT company, the Enterprise Team can support you.

Interested? The application deadline is 11:30pm on 12 March 2017. 

More information about the programme is available here and on our CareersCentral external website. 

But don't just take our word for. Read how other Hallam students benefited by being their own boss during their placement year!

“Without the Enterprise Team's support some students would not be able to have any real life and hands on experience of self-employment. More and more students are choosing to enter self-employment once they graduate and this support is of great value and is likely to be increasingly sought after.”

‘The scheme is absolutely fantastic! You learn and experience all the trials and tribulations of starting and running your business. I would recommend it to everyone.’

‘I started my gym clothing company Zero Excuses. It made a profit within the first three months and its social media presence dramatically increased! These achievements would not have been possible without the scheme’s excellent support and guidance and the amazing workshops and networking opportunities.’
