Skill Build is a series of sessions and lectures conducted over both University semesters. The sessions feature a range of speakers from local and regional organisations – including specialists from Business Link, Corporate Mentors, and HM Revenue & Customs – and from within the University.
The Autumn semester programme covers a range of employability skills including negotiation, networking, communication, selling and influencing skills. The Spring semester programme focuses on entrepreneurial skills and skills required for business. Sessions cover topics from basic business planning and business funding, through to market research for small businesses, e-commerce and technology. In addition, Skill Build hosts talks from influential local and regional entrepreneurs.
The Skill Build sessions for this academic year are listed on our Events and Workshops pages.
