2008 Enterprise Ball
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.”
