The Enterprisers programme is aimed at ambitious and energetic individuals. The programme is fun, action-orientated, practical and based on experiential learning, i.e learning by doing.

It is about inspiring people to develop entrepreneurial skills and a ‘can do’ attitude with the confidence to make things happen. Combine this with the best experience in entrepreneurship education over a 4-day residential course and the result is an educational experience that celebrates diversity, builds self-confidence and creates meaningful relationships between individuals who are, through their choosing, our future industry leaders. The experience debunks many barriers they perceive about venturing and empowers individuals to realise that they can be entrepreneurial in their environment.

The programme is very much based on experiential learning - knowledge, activity and reflection. The results are equally applicable and valuable to start-up businesses, established mid-sized businesses, large corporate organisations or universities and in any sector, public, private or not-for-profit. The Enterprisers programme is managed and delivered by the Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning at the University of Cambridge.
