Marie Silbourne, Course Leader, said: “It’s been very inspiring and rewarding taking students through the course. They are often very knowledgeable about their area of interest but need the tools to turn that expertise into a long term
business. The course creates an environment where people can develop their idea at their own pace and benefit from peer to peer mentoring.”
Ruth Lowbridge, Chief Executive of SFEDI Group said: “We want people to feel that the desire to set up their own business can become a reality with the right support and training. The course leaders at The Sheffield College are doing an amazing job at supporting their student’s business plans and giving them the tools to succeed. We would now encourage them to source a business mentor that can support them as they develop and grow their businesses.”
