What's involved
What you get.
Enterprise is a skill, not a personality type. Ignite puts real business thinking in front of sixth formers and college students — with content built by people who have run businesses, not by a curriculum committee.
Online learning platform
Self-paced modules on ideas, money, marketing and the realities of self-employment.
In-person sessions
Workshops delivered in school and college, with local business owners in the room.
A route into support
Students who want to go further are handed straight to the Chamber's Start-Up programme when they turn 18.
Next steps
How to get started.
Teachers and careers leads should contact the Chamber to arrange a session or get platform access for a cohort.
