The College is Speednetworking

Enterprise, creativity and innovation thrive on networks - if you want to make your ideas happen, you need to get connected - fast!

The college is getting involved with Speednetworking the Nation. This will be a fun, high energy way to promote the importance of networking. It will unleash a creative mix of ideas and connections. In just one hour every participant will have a new network of useful contacts, advisors, like-minds, potential customers, suppliers or simply interesting people.

The first ever Speednetworking extravaganza will take place on the Friday of Enterprise Week.

There will be hundreds of simultaneous speednetworking events across the country in schools, colleges, businesses, universities, enterprise centres, cafes, train stations and shopping malls - connecting people and ideas across the country.

You can even use this Blog as part of your networking experience now by exchanging ideas.

We will be holding an exciting interactive event within the college - more detail coming soon.

Date: Friday 17th November

Start: 12 noon

Women's Enterprise Day

Did you know that men start up 150,000 more businesses a year than women?

Isn't it time women closed this gap?

Women's Enterprise Day is your chance to do just that. We're working to encourage young women to be more enterprising all year round and Women's Enterprise Day on Wednesday 15th November is a national celebration and opportunity to showcase their achievements, as well as inspiring lots of others to follow their lead.

This year Women's Enterprise Day will be bigger and better with women's organisations from all over the UK hosting events and activities to profile successful female entrepreneurs and inspire new female talents with the confidence and know-how to do the same.

You are here! It's Enterprise Week

You are here!!

Enterprise Week is an annual UK-wide week of activities inspiring people in their teens and twenties to be enterprising - to turn ideas into something real.

There were over 2,000 events held in Enterprise Week 2005. Waltham Forest College will be joining in this year to make our own contribution to Enterprise Week 2006.

Keep locked to this site to find out what's in the pipeline, and don't forget to feed us back your thoughts and ideas!

It's the run-up to Enterprise Week

Here at Waltham Forest College we thought it would be fun to concentrate our thoughts and efforts, and indeed, to show off to others our various plans for Enterprise Week. So, we made this blog!

It's early stages yet, but do check-in every day to see what's happening.
