Bradford College in collaboration with Bradford Kickstart (LEGI programme) has designed and developed a new academy for enterprise. The academy will deliver inspirational and exciting enterprise programmes to all the college students. The aims of the academy are to stimulate high interest in enterprise, enhance the entrepreneurial skills of the students and increase the opportunities of new start up business and self employment.

Bradford Enterprise Academy is offering enterprise training for all curriculum areas throughout college to equip students with the knowledge, skills, confidence and expertise to start their own business or self employment. Enterprise training will be delivered to students by qualified Enterprise Champions from within the College and will cover all areas of enterprise so that a business idea can become a reality.

Bradford Enterprise Academy is offering enterprise experience to all college students through a variety of different activities, including special seminars and workshops delivered by formative and highly qualified professionals within the specified industry/curriculum, special clubs and networks designed to engage and encourage students in enterprise culture and competitions to support potential business ideas.

Bradford Enterprise Academy is an enterprise programme to help you unlock your entrepreneurial potential by exploring your business idea and formulate it into a successful business. The scheme offers a wide range of support, via experienced business counsellors to students who are either thinking of working for themselves as self employed or starting a new business venture.

We at Bradford Enterprise Academy are committed to creating an enterprising environment for the benefit of Bradford college students to turn their entrepreneurial dreams into reality. All our services are free of charge with no obligations. To become your own boss, take the next step forward and get in touch.

 “Our vision is to enable all students to have an equal opportunity to access Enterprise Learning through a range of learning mediums thereby equipping them with the skills, knowledge and attributes to be successful both in the world of work and in their personal lives.”

We endorse and adopt this vision to achieve it, we will establish the Bradford Enteprise Academy within the heart of Bradford City at the Innovative Technologies Centre to deliver innovative and inspiring programmes of enterprise education and experience to the majority of the 23,000 college students.  The academy will design, develop and deliver a range of training programmes across the college curriculum.

The academy will run special events and activities that will stimulate awareness and desire for enterprise.  The academy will provide support to help individuals to create and start up their business as well as link with available support through LEGI programme,  and will provide business incubation / start up space with the support of Bradford Kickstart capital programme.

The main objective of the academy is to embed enterprise education and culture within the FE education sector.  The combined effort of the partners, the wider LEGI programme and specifically Bradford Kickstart will engage, motivate and inspire the FE students to be entrepeneurs and develop them to be business people of the future.
