👩🎓Growing Graduate Enterprise is a programme performed as part of Enterprise Lincoln, targeted at supporting graduates who are looking to start up a business in Greater Lincolnshire. The programme is organised by the University of Lincoln and is open to recent graduates located in the county, as well as those who will have attended any UK university and returned to Greater Lincolnshire after graduation. Graduates pitch their business idea to a grant panel of business professionals to receive up to £10,000 start-up funding for their business*. As part of the programme, graduates receive a comprehensive package of business support, which includes one-to-one mentoring, “boot camp” style sessions, individual needs assessments leading to targeted action plans, as well as a minimum of 12 hours’ support for each beneficiary on the scheme and group workshops. Some of the past workshops provided exclusive information on how to gain investment, commercial law, marketing, book-keeping and many more.🧑🎓
