Wally wants students to make a response to site, so an excellent opportunity to for students to think about how to use locally sourced materials in innovative ways, considering how to grapple with environmental, social and economic sustainability.

Enterprise Inc open for applications

Have you ever watched an episode of Dragons’ Den and thought to yourself, “Hey, I’ve got a better idea than that,”? Well it’s time to get up off your sofa and do something about it, future Richard Bransons.

The applications for the Enterprise Inc scheme are now open, and while the panel might not be as terrifying as the one on television, they are just as good at helping to get your business idea off the ground. Over the past couple of years the scheme has helped countless creative students get the business support they need to start their journey into the sometimes mystical land of being self-employed. Illustrators, jewellery designers, conservators, film directions, photographers and many more have all passed through the Enterprise doors and are now earning a living doing the thing they love. Next year when we write a similar blog post about this, one of those people could be you!

Not only does the scheme offer a series of fantastic workshops delivered by leading professionals (we did one once. Only one person left early) but it also provides the lucky few who get on with the opportunity to receive £2500 of funding to help their businesses get started.

This is a terrific opportunity for anyone who feels they have a bit of entrepreneurial flair or an idea that can’t be ignored. If that sounds like you then email rclayforth@lincoln.ac.uk or pop into the Enterprise building to find out more.

Remember us when you’re super successful. We’d like our own island.

Careers Mondays are changing

prospects-header

 

On a Tuesday you can buy two pizzas for the price of one from a popular chain of takeaway restaurant.

On a Wednesday you can, if you are part of the right mobile phone network, get into see a movie at the cinema for a discount.
But both of those days mean nothing compared to the joy, the wonder, the incomparable delight that is Careers Mondays. You might have been to one of these days already and if so you’ll have noticed someone sitting on a big round table on the third floor of AAD West offering CV advice, job tips and generally useful chatter. That person was Helen. She served you well.
However as of today you will no longer notice Helen sitting on that big round table. Instead you will notice Judy Turner. Judy will be here every Monday from 10am – 1pm doing all of the things Helen used to, apart from responding to the name ‘Helen’. Good, eh?
All you have to do is drop in between the allotted times and say hello. Remember to say “Hello Judy” and not “Hello Helen.” This is important. You can also book an appointment by emailing juturner@lincoln.ac.uk.
Helen is still around and you can still chat to her if you’d like by emailing hmccarron@lincoln.ac.uk or by going along to one of the daily drop in sessions in the Enterprise building between 10am and 2pm.
Alright? Got it? Good. Remember Judy. Not Helen.
She will not answer to Helen.
