Global Enterprise Week at Gower College Swansea

Students at Gower College Swansea are enjoying a week of entrepreneurial activities organised by The Enterprise Team.

The college is supporting Global Entrepreneurship Week UK with a programme of events which gives students the opportunity to rub shoulders with local business people and self-employed professionals.

"We're delighted with this year's programme, especially as it's embracing such a wide range of curriculum areas such as Art and Design, Creative Media, Hair and Beauty, ICT and Digital Technology," says Enterprise Officer Lucy Turtle.
