Get recognition for developing your enterprise and entrepreneurial skills!
As part of the Sheffield Graduate Award, Skill Build gives students the chance to develop their enterprise and entrepreneurial skills.
Skill Build is a series of workshops, seminars and events with internal and external speakers. The sessions run over both semesters and you can attend both in full or one in isolation. You don’t even have to attend all the sessions, just let us know when you register. At the end of the series you will be invited to reflect on what you have learned in the format of an assignment. Everyone who has completed the sessions and reflected on what they have learned will receieve a certificate and a skills portfolio.
