Our Skill-Up workshops are a great place to meet like-minded peers, develop your entrepreneurial mindset and develop entrepreneurial skills that can enhance your employability. Whether you are curious about entrepreneurship but don’t have that big idea yet, or have an idea that you would like to explore further, our Skill-Up programme is open to all. 

A series of three evening workshops:

• Tuesday 21st October, 6.30-8.00pm
• Tuesday 28th October, 6.30-8.00pm
• Tuesday 4th November, 6.30-8.00pm

If you’ve got an idea for a business you think is worth pursuing, you can choose to spend your third year focusing on it as part of your degree with us. Our Year in Enterprise scheme is an alternative to our professional placement or study abroad programme, where you can add on an additional year to your course to do something hands on, as an extra boost to your career.

Find out more by attending one of our upcoming information sessions.

Are you working on a business idea or dreaming of launching one?

Join us for an exclusive session with Mike Conner, Loughborough alumnus and former CEO of Appsbroker (one of only 0.2% of UK startups ever to scale beyond £10M in turnover).  

Mike didn’t just build a successful business. He also bought a Napoleonic fortress on a remote Welsh island and turned it into a luxury retreat with a rooftop bar, nightclub, and helipad. His story is one of bold vision, relentless execution, and a touch of daring - exactly what every founder needs!

This event is designed to inspire and inform. Whether you're just curious about entrepreneurship or already building your startup, you'll walk away with insights into:

•  What founders wish they knew before starting
•  How to turn ideas into reality (and survive the chaos)
•  Why thinking differently is your biggest asset

It's also a chance to connect with other entrepreneurial minds and become part of the Loughborough Enterprise Network- a growing community of innovators, creators, and doers.

Spaces are limited, so don’t miss out. Please register to book your space.
