How employers can get involved with B-Enterprising

Our B-Enterprising Boot camp is an intensive three day challenge, where students work together in multi-disciplinary teams to sovle social and business challenges set by our partners or ourselves. It is a proven and effective way for companies to directly engage with the most enterprising students at the University of Birmingham. 

In previous years we have collaborated with companies such as Virgin Money and IBM to headline Boot camp. For Virgin Money, partnering with Careers Network provided them the opportunity to promote and gain invaluable student insight into a new product that was being launched, as well as recruit outstanding students for roles as product ambassadors and internship roles.
