Forthcoming Event

BIS: A new Government led initiative to boost enterprise will see up to 4,000 entrepreneurial university students & graduates in England connecting with SMEs.   The Startup Career Milkrounds is part of the Government’s enterprise education package and will see the National Association of College & University Entrepreneurs (NACUE) and Enternships.com working with university enterprise societies.

They will create a national brand for an annual Milkround fortnight that will give students & graduates the chance to engage with small firms through Milkround-style fairs, securing summer placements, raising entrepreneurial skills levels and creating graduate jobs.

NACUE has selected 20 enterprise societies to organise student-led Startup Career Milkrounds for their regions.  Each society will receive £500 from NACUE to design & host the event (between 22 May & 2 June), which will be match-funded by the society’s respective university.  Students will have the opportunity to hear from & connect with the vibrant startup communities in their regions, through a series of talks, speed-networking sessions, and meetings with local SMEs.
