Expires: 13 Oct 2031
The ‘Entrepreneurship FUNdamentals’ digital badge introduces UCC students to the language of entrepreneurship – helping to demystify the subject area of entrepreneurship. Participants will engage with the material (text, audio and video) which showcases Irish and UCC entrepreneurial talent as exemplars rather than leveraging international examples (which is typically the norm in entrepreneurship education). Participants will develop their ‘entrepreneurial’ confidence and self-belief coupled with the opportunity to further develop innovative ideas.
