The day will start off with a lecture going through the various employment opportunities available and what is involved in setting up your own business, with a small portion of time available for any questions. After lunch, we will move onto the practical side of the day, whereby you will be able to see case studies and gain hands on experience. The day will conclude with a small Q&A.
