If you have ever watched Dragons Den and thought that you could come up with a great idea that could turn you into the next multi-millionaire, then you might be interested in enterprise and learning about starting your own business.
Although not everyone becomes multi-millionaires, many people start their own business. Enterprise is all about working with people who have already made their ideas happen, learning the skills and knowledge that you need for business and gaining confidence to put your ideas out there and have a go.
You may not want to start your own business, but learning about enterprise may change the way you think about things. Being able to come up with new ideas is really useful and companies are always looking for employees with a can-do attitude who can spot opportunities for success. The skills, knowledge and experiences that you will learn will help you to use your initiative, communicate and make you more able to cope with the ever-changing pace of life.
Social enterprises are dynamic business that work with the purpose of improving life or making lasting social and environmental change. Businesses like Cafedirect, The Big Issue and the Eden Project are all social enterprises, but there are many similar companies operating throughout the UK, including recycling companies, organic farmers and childcare providers.
