Wymondham College is on the hunt for Business Mentors to help out with their Entrepreneurship Elective, which is a course that is run for Year 9 and 10 students.
Since September 2012, students have been undertaking a structured, 12-unit course covering all aspects of Business, from Strategy to Finance, Risk Management to Marketing. At the end of the Spring Term, students will work in groups to develop a Business Plan which they then ‘pitch’ to potential mentors. The mentor’s role can be light-touch or more involved – they act as a source of guidance and advice for students as they attempt to set up their own enterprise during the summer term of Year 9 and the whole of Year 10. The aim of the Elective is to help students to work independently, give them opportunities to learn things they wouldn’t in a GCSE course, collaborate with others both in and outside of the college, and to have fun doing something that is a bit different!
On January 29th (10-11am), Wymondham College is hosting a meeting for potential mentors to meet with the course organisers, other potential mentors and with a selection of the students involved.
