26 February 2021The impact of Covid-19 has been felt across the breadth of the economic sector and with uncertainty in the employment market, and the need for jobs increasing rapidly, Cambridge Regional College is adding a business start-up programme to its’ training portfolio in 2021.
Supporting job creation in a variety of employment sectors will be of great importance as we begin to move out of the global pandemic and in response to this need, Cambridge Regional College aims to support individuals in the initial stages of a business concept through this targeted business start-up programme.
Director of Commercial Development, Claire Dolan said, “This course will increase self-awareness, motivation and inspiration as well as enhancing the practical skills to enable individuals to take the first steps in setting up a business.”
Using industry expertise and strong local relationships with employers, entrepreneurs and local policy makers, the business start-up programme will explain and maximise government support schemes for individuals, helping those seeking to start a business to understand the local skills need and potential growth areas or emerging sectors.
Students will undergo an intensive 2-week introductory phase which will help them to understand the commitment and challenges that come with starting a business, followed by a bespoke 16-week study phase that will deliver targeted learning in the areas that will support the new business to develop and grow. Delivery will take place through a blended learning approach, with a mix of face-to-face and virtual tuition. Both phases of the programme must be completed to qualify.
