Enterprise Week

Last year, Enterprise Week became part of the first ever Global Entrepreneurship Week, which saw 25,000 events all over the world encouraging people to unleash their enterprising ideas. In the UK alone, a massive 644,000 people took part! This year, it takes place from 16–22 November.

Enterprise Week 08 - 16-22 November 2008

Doncaster College’s inaugural Enterprise Ball took place at The Stables, High Melton, on November 20, 2008.

 

Local businesses joined senior staff to celebrate all things enterprising at the event, which also saw Employer Charters awarded to companies which have established excellent working relationships with the College.

 

Attendees were wowed by an auction, raffle, an after-dinner speech from Doncaster Rovers legend Mickey Walker and video case studies of enterprising projects from across the College and University Centre – as well as a live case study of a student dress-maker who has set up her own business at High Melton.

 

Beauty Therapy lecturer Sue Cocking was also presented with a prestigious award for ‘Innovative and Effective Learner Engagement’, sponsored by awarding body NCFE. The aim of the award is to recognise outstanding contribution from a member of staff who is working in any teaching, mentoring or support capacity with students.

 

Enterprise College Project Manager Jayne Robinson said: “I must say a huge thank you to everyone who contributed to the raffle and auction - £1,164 was raised for charity with half going to the National Autistic Society and half to help establish a bursary for women entering the engineering industry.”
