The Enterprise and Innovation Centre are offering a number of new projects to develop your employability, business skills and fund your ideas for new ventures.

Last year The Enterprise and Innovation Centre brought you the T-Shaped Futures Industry Day and FutureHeads one-to-one advice sessions and workshops in the summer. The XING business planning game, played last term alongside teams from Goldsmiths and Rose Bruford College, was won by a Ravensbourne MA team. This year, under the FutureHeads banner, there is a new programme of events and activities through which you can learn new knowledge, make new contacts and secure some serious cash to invest in your future.

Keep your eye on the posters and viral campaigns for these opportunities.
