Addressing unemployment

The Business Studies team was awarded with a £1,000 prize for Creativity and Innovation at the National Muslim Teachers Awards.

This money was invested in a pioneering enterprise project; where Business and Enterprise students were divided into teams and given a £40 start-up capital. As a part of their course, they were required to create a real business plan based on a unique idea, which fills a gap in the market.

Through our partnership with Town & Country Markets we secured 5 stalls in the Luton Town Market, where students sold were able to sell their products to a wider market.

Starting a business is one thing, expanding your range of contacts and business opportunities is a different challenge. For small or micro businesses this is all the more important because they are particularly vulnerable in their early years.

One of the key issues facing people deciding to start a business is lack of confidence. Doubts about when to make a start, if you’re ready and how to do it are natural concerns but when combined with the challenge of finding new customers/suppliers, talking to them and forging beneficial relationships, it all doesn’t come naturally to a lot of people. Motivating yourself to keep the momentum needed to establish your business is essential.

Come along to Yale College's Food For Thought Christmas Market where our enterprising and innovative Creative Industries students will be selling their amazing wares - all based on our sustainability theme. Inspirational and divine gifts for Christmas!

Back by popular demand - but not possible during GEW due to rooming issues!

Students are invited to join up with friends, classmates, Welsh Bacc group or PT group and manage a market stall eg selling crafts, plants, recycled goods, Christmas cards and gifts.

Slots are available to musicians and performers throughout this event to showcase their talent!

Yale College students take charge and are planning a series of fundraising activities and events throughout the day - at Grove Park and Bersham Road: all student-led.
