We are pleased to announce that Barnet Council and Middlesex University are offering the Barnet business community the opportunity to attend a short series of business development workshops delivered by our renowned academic experts AND, the opportunity to access the talent, innovation and business-focused skillset of our final year students through a fully-funded 4-week placement/internship – ALL FOR FREE.
The workshop programme runs through February and March 2023 – with weekly early evening workshops on business-critical topics. Feel free to bring along your employees or even organise it as a team activity to contribute to your organisation's team building and CPD plans.
The FREE one-hour workshops will be delivered at Middlesex University, College Building, Room C207 and will be followed by networking sessions including refreshments. They will also be recorded for those unable to attend in person*.
The internship programme enabled our MDX students to work closely with businesses in Barnet on critical objectives and growth strategies including Marketing and Campaigning, Market Research and Product Development, Operations, Logistics and Business Planning.
The internships combined in-person and online interaction and varied in length, being either 4 or 6 weeks long, 20hrs per week in both cases. The programme is FREE to the business and is fully funded through the collaboration between Barnet Council and Middlesex University.
While the application portal is now closed you can still express your interest in future opportunities.
Over the summer and autumn of 2022, Barnet Council and Middlesex University have partnered to provide a unique programme of FREE, short training courses, specifically designed to support the growth and development of Barnet-based micro-businesses by providing them with the tools, knowledge, and confidence they needed to grow forward.
