Do you have students that have considered running their own business? Do they like working with others, and learning-by-doing? If so, the BSc Business Enterprise Development programme could be the course for them! You and your students can find out more about this innovative course through one of our workshops.
Superpower Challenge:
What would your superpower be if you had one? How could you harness the superpowers of a whole team to create a solution to a global challenge? This solution focused workshop takes students through the process of collective design thinking to create an awesome business offer for the world!
Time needed: this workshop can be adapted for delivery over 1 hour, 2 hours or 3 hours.
Game Storming Ideation Challenge:
Entrepreneurs have to be flexible to adapt to changing markets and clients’ needs. In this time bound workshop, students will work collaboratively to address a client challenge, using research skills to gather information that they can analyse and turn into a range of solutions which they will present back to your client. Can their team seal the deal?
Time needed: this workshop can be adapted for delivery over half a day or a day.
Transitions:
Moving from school to university can be both exciting and a little scary. Our Transitions programme supports students over the period of 4 sessions to understand what to expect when becoming a university student.
Facilitated by both staff and students from the Business Enterprise Development programmes at Aston University, the programme will cover:
> Expectations – what should your students expect when they join a university programme? What is it like to be a first year student in a new university setting?
> Self-awareness – what are your students’ strengths and areas of development when it comes to working alone and with others?
> Confidence and resilience – supporting your students to speak confidently about themselves, their ambitions and their learning. Developing your students’ understanding of resilience and how to motivate themselves and others.
Time needed: this programme requires 4 sessions but can be adapted for 1 hour or 2 hours per session. Sessions can be spread out over a number of weeks or can be condensed into a shorter time frame.
