    <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SMART&lt;/span&gt; Enterprise is an exciting new short programme offering 6 sessions in basic business and management skills training free of charge!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Who is this course for?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SMART&lt;/span&gt; Enterprise is an exciting new short programme offering 6 sessions in basic business and management skills training free of charge!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you live and work in Cornwall for a minimum of 8 hours a week then you will be eligible to join this programme, providing you haven?t already gained a *Level 3 or above business or management qualification.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These courses are designed to be a practical introduction to the key elements you will need to be aware of when creating and managing your own business. The workshops will be relevant, very practical, with no assessments/ examinations taking place, and taught by highly experienced business professionals and tutors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SMART&lt;/span&gt; Enterprise is split into 2 distinct groups to choose from;-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Business Beginnings- for those individuals who are considering becoming self-employed or setting up their own business, or&amp;#8230;&amp;#8230;&amp;#8230;..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Business Enterprise- for those individuals who are already self-employed or currently managing a business, who need to develop their business skills and knowledge to move the business forward.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Entry criteria can be discussed on an individual basis with the project manager&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What are the entry requirements?&lt;br /&gt;
No specific entry qualifications required but you do need to be working a minimum of 8 hours a week, and preferably not have already gained a *Level 3 or above qualification in Business or Management.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What will I be doing on the course?&lt;br /&gt;
Or if you choose the Business Enterprise group you will attend sessions on;-&lt;br /&gt;
Diversification and Growth&lt;br /&gt;
Effective Marketing&lt;br /&gt;
Project Management&lt;br /&gt;
Sustainability and Greener Working&lt;br /&gt;
Recruitment, training and Staff Development&lt;br /&gt;
Leadership and Motivating Others&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The courses are designed to be a practical introduction to the key elements you will need to be aware of when creating and managing your own business. The workshops will be relevant, very practical, with no assessments/ examinations taking place, and taught by highly experienced business professionals and tutors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whichever group you choose there will also be additional skills embedded into the programme including time and stress management, confidence-building and assertiveness, communication, team-building and personal development. You will also be offered an individual information, advice and guidance session as well as the opportunity to work with a business coach/mentor after the course has been completed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How do I study the course?&lt;br /&gt;
The &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SMART&lt;/span&gt; Enterprise programme is taught at Cornwall College, Camborne Campus for 6 sessions over 6 weeks. Attendance will be once a week for 6 weeks 9.30am to 2.30pm. &lt;br /&gt;
Courses will start approximately every 8 weeks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dates and Fees:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hrs/Wk Wks/Yr Start Length Fee  &lt;br /&gt;
5  6  04/01/10  6 Weeks  &#163;Free &lt;br /&gt;
5  6  22/02/10  6 Weeks  &#163;Free &lt;br /&gt;
5  6  19/04/10  6 Weeks  &#163;Free&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Loans, Grants and Bursaries are available for some University Level courses. Find out more here or ask to speak to Kathy Drakeley &amp;#8211; 0845 22 32 567.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What can I do after this course?&lt;br /&gt;
The &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SMART&lt;/span&gt; Enterprise programme will have given you basic business skills and the confidence to progress further with your business idea.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, after you&amp;#8217;ve completed these 6 introductory sessions there will also be the opportunity to progress onto another more specific short course e.g Degree level short courses, professional business/ management workshops or possibly onto a higher education programme if you?d prefer to increase your business knowledge and skills base first.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Concessions:&lt;br /&gt;
For any individual who meets the criteria requirements given above, the programme will be fully-funded until December 2010 and so will be offered free of charge. Lunch will also be included free of charge during the college sessions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Information regarding fees/costs:&lt;br /&gt;
A Business Coach/Mentor will be appointed if the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SMART&lt;/span&gt; Enterprise applicant requests this service and the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SMART&lt;/span&gt; Enterprise programme will fund the first two one hour sessions with the coach/mentor but any further support given will incur additional costs and will need to be negotiated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Additional Information:&lt;br /&gt;
This programme would normally cost the applicant in excess of &#163;1500 per person and so places are limited on this programme. Therefore the Project Manager- Helen Norman will meet applicants in the first instance to ensure this is the most suitable programme to meet their needs. Please contact Helen to apply by telephoning 01209 617652 ( direct line), or 01209 611611 (main switchboard), or 0800 731 7594 (Cornwall College Business ) &lt;br /&gt;
Alternatively, email enquiries@ccb.cornwall.ac.uk&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This course is approved by the University of Plymouth&lt;/p&gt;</description>

    <description>&lt;p&gt;To find out, the Design Council and The Economist are bringing business and design together at a major conference next month. We hope that you, as a designer, will want to be part of the conversation. Especially as we&#8217;re offering a 50% discount to members of design networks and bodies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Redesigning Business Summit will focus on how design could provide the new ideas that companies need to plot their next move in a post-recession economy. And we&amp;#8217;ll explore how design can respond to challenges like climate change, globalisation and fast-developing technology.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You have a chance to join the debate and get a 50% discount on the full price of &#163;1,295 plus &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;VAT&lt;/span&gt;. To secure a place for the special price of &#163;647.50 plus &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;VAT&lt;/span&gt;, book now using code &amp;#8216;DC09&amp;#8217;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Confirmed speakers include IDEO&#8217;s Chief Creative Officer Paul Bennett, M&amp;amp;S Sustainable Business Director Richard Gillies, collaborative innovation pioneer Nick Jankel and Joe Ferry, Virgin Atlantic Airways&#8217; Head of Design.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As well as being a fascinating couple of days, this will be a great opportunity to step into the client&#8217;s shoes, see a difficult world from their perspective&amp;#8230; and maybe even introduce them to yours.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When 11 March &#8211; 12 March 2010	&lt;br /&gt;

    <description>&lt;p&gt;Business is changing faster than ever. The Redesigning Business Summit on 11 and 12 March 2010 will show how designers are helping businesses amid today&#8217;s environmental, regulatory economic and social challenges. Hear Marks and Spencer on the design challenge that is revolutionising its business, Microsoft on how it&#8217;s reinventing its products around its customers and premium organic cotton underwear manufacturer &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;PACT&lt;/span&gt; on how designer Yves Behar helped it rethink how a product could be developed and sold.&lt;/p&gt;

    <description>&lt;p&gt;The South West UK Brussels Office, together with the Borough of Poole, have the pleasure to invite you to a one day event on EU support for the Creative Industries sector. The South West of England has a very strong creative industries sector, which is growing faster than the rest of the economy.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
The event will inform stakeholders of EU project, policy and profiling opportunities for the creative industries and Mette Quinn, Policy Officer on Support for Innovation from DG Enterprise and Industry, will be present for the day. It will focus on the EU, regional and local policy context for supporting the creative industries. The regional and local policy context will look at educational provision and business support and the EU policy context will look at the overall strategy for growth and jobs and the Green Paper on Cultural and Creative Industries. The second half of the event will be composed of practical workshops looking at EU funding programmes that can be accessed by the Creative sector, including the Lifelong Learning Programme, the Culture and Media programmes and the Territorial Cooperation programmes.&lt;br /&gt;

    <description>&lt;p&gt;Marketing copy is a crucial part of your business communications. The copy you write needs to speak on your behalf and represent you, your company, your service or your product. To achieve your goals, it has to be informative, well-constructed and persuasive.  Whether you&#8217;re writing brochures, flyers, sales emails, advertisements, direct marketing mailouts or radio spots, your copy should have a personality that reflects your brand and its values. Achieving a distinctive and attractive tone of voice is the main focus of this course.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Writing for the Web is different. Web users have notoriously short attention spans, so you need to know how to engage them immediately, give them the information they need and get your key business messages across as quickly and memorably as possible. Your tutor will show you how to write focused, user-friendly Web content through a series of creative yet practical exercises. As well as learning how to adapt text written for print publications so that it works on the Web, you&#8217;ll also find out how to optimise your content for search engines and improve your position in search results.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
What you will need to bring:  an example of current marketing and promotional copy (flyer, leaflet, brochure, etc)&lt;br /&gt;
