Every learner is given the opportunity to develop and evaluate their business skills and explore what it means to be an entrepreneur.

Across the year, The Launchpad hold a variety of events such as the Enterprise Skills Competitions, Dragon’s Den challenge, Business workshops and 1-2-1 Business Advice sessions and the opportunity to create a business and sell at the college Christmas Market.

Students have the opportunity to work closely with Big Ideas Wales who provide support and guidance to anyone wishing to start a business.

They can also get additional support from King’s Trust and Career’s Wales, who can provide advice on self-employment, funding and getting started.

Remember, if you have a small business or side hustle earning more than £1000 per tax year, you will also need to register with HMRC.

If you would like to discuss any opportunities, please contact Mrs Brewster, email SBrewster@stdavidscollege.ac.uk, or visit The Launchpad.
