Enterprise – Outstanding Female Entrepreneur of the Year Prize

Our annual Celebration Event is scheduled for Monday 9 June 2014.  If you have successfully completed the Award by earning 30 credits or have been shortlisted for one of the Employer-Supported Prizes, you will be invited to the event.

There are several top employers who are sponsoring prizes this year, along with the Vice-Chancellor’s Prize.  Prize winners will receive awards such as lunch with the vice president of the company, an internship position, a session with a career coach, or various vouchers and give-aways.

This week we would like to feature the Enterprise – Outstanding Female Entrepreneur of the Year Prize. The statement and information below was sent to us by Enterprise to promote their prize.

This prize, supported by Enterprise Rent-a-Car, recognises the outstanding achievement of a female student for their entrepreneurial approaches to activities undertaken throughout the Award.

Why does Enterprise sponsor this prize?

Enterprise has invested heavily in supporting female employees to move into management roles within their company. They have done this as part of their aim to promote a diverse workforce and Enterprise has been recognised as one of The Times Top 50 Employers for Women for the sixth year in a row.
