Spreading the spirit of enterprise
January 2007 will see the launch of ‘Enterprisers’ as a continued drive of the Sunshine Coast Student Enterprise initiative by the Innovation Centre, which aims to encourage, generate and support a new wave of businesses from the student and graduate population on the Sunshine Coast, be these commercial, community or not-for-profit.
This visionary program will involve USC, other Australian universities, New Zealand universities, Scottish universities and will also link the Sunshine Coast region to two of the world’s most prestigious universities through its new association with the Cambridge-MIT Institute, a joint venture between the University of Cambridge and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
“Enterprisers on the Sunshine Coast will take students through a four-day programme to educate them on entrepreneurship and to help turn their ideas into successful business ventures,” said Andrew Mitchell, Manager of the program at the Innovation Centre.
The Centre will host the first Australian Enterprisers program in January 2007 and USC students in all subject areas will have the opportunity to apply for the program.
