Overview
We’re recruiting for our first programme that will run April 2024 to October 2024.
If you are a female researcher (PhD, postdoc, research staff) at the University of Cambridge, or another institution or company, with some entrepreneurial experience and looking to polish your skills or launch your business idea, then EnterpriseWOMEN is for you.
If EnterpriseWOMEN is the first programme in the entrepreneurial learning space you’re looking at, you would be far better equipped to join us after undertaking another access programme such as EnterpriseTECH.
Who is it for?
EnterpriseWOMEN offers access to its programme through 3 distinct pathways, each tailored to where you are on your entrepreneurial journey. You’ll most likely be a female researcher or staff member at the University of Cambridge or other institution or company and looking to connect with a women’s enterprise network in Cambridge.
Crafted to accommodate these pathways, either as a full programme of workshops or drop- ins, we aim to ensure women from various backgrounds and stages of their entrepreneurial endeavours can find help, resources and connections they need to succeed.
