Hand-in-Hand:

Awakening Your Entrepreneurial Potential

Have you been thinking to start your own business?

  • Are you thinking of (or already developing) your own business idea?

  • Would you like to learn the basics of developing a new venture?

  • Have you lost your job/business or been furloughed since April 2020?

If you answered 'YES" to all questions, we can help you!


The University of Portsmouth, funded by Economic and Social Research Council National Productivity Investment Fund - Accelerating Business Collaboration (University of Southampton), is offering you:

A short online course and practical experience to give you motivation, confidence and skills to build up your entrepreneurial potential (the spaces are limited to 10 Participants only!).

As a result of this FREE 2-month Programme (21 June - 06 August 2021), you will:

  • Understand your own strengths and entrepreneurial potential;

  • Build your personal brand to differentiate yourself in the market;

  • Develop confidence to start your own business;

  • Acquire skills and experience necessary to start up an entrepreneurial venture;

  • Receive an Individual Personal Evaluation Report, Certificate of Completion, and celebrate success!

Our Programme is:

Interactive

It is not just watching videos and reading, you will spend the majority of your time discussing, analysing and actioning your knowledge to feel the real change.

Personal

Although we will have some live online group sessions, their small setting will encourage a personalised approach which will address your own needs. You will get one-to-one support with your experiential learning, and at the end - your individual session with a personal coach!

Experiential

Half of your learning will come from the experiential part of the journey - working with a Portsmouth-based small business on a real-life challenge with the support of your experienced tutors.

Exciting

We are confident that you will have a lot of fun, meet new people, perhaps get back to the student experience, learn more about yourself, others, and the world of entrepreneurship!
