Student enterprise coordinator, Tina Mulhearne says that the competition helps students to develop important business skills.
“The programme helps students develop essential business skills such as business planning, market research, selling and teamwork, preparing them for future entrepreneurial endeavours.
“By providing these experiences and skills, the Student Enterprise Programme significantly enhances students' preparedness for future careers, whether as entrepreneurs or in other professional roles,” Ms Mulhearne said.
