Opportunities

Improve your skills

Whether you want to learn new skills or develop on skills you already have, we do loads of stuff to help you out. We hold regular workshops, give you access to business simulation software and let you know about great competitions.

There are more skills involved in running your own business that you probably haven't ever considered. Find out what they are and make sure you have them in the bag so you can succeed in whatever you do.

Develop your business idea

Knowing how to take your business idea to the next step can be confusing or frustrating when going at it alone. We can give you advice on how to test if your idea will work. We can teach you entrepreneurial skills. And we could even provide you funding for your business idea.

Pursue your personal interests

Being enterprising isn't all about making money. It isn't always about having your own business. An example of something that's enterprising could be an idea for a new society, or organising a gig or event. Business isn't boring and neither is enterprise. And if you want to pursue your interest in entrepreneurial activities, why not join one of the University's societies?

Expand your CV

You've got a lot on your plate as a student of the University of Sheffield. We understand that. And getting a good degree is an excellent foundation for helping you to secure a job when you finish your studies. But more and more employers are looking for something else. Something that sets you apart from the rest. They're also looking at your extra curricular activities. There are so many ways we can help you enhance your CV and your achievements with USE won't go unnoticed by your interviewers.
