around them. They create products or services
that are absent from current markets.
To be a successful entrepreneur, you will need
to be creative, decisive, passionate, good at
multi-tasking and a risk-taker. These skills
will help if you become self-employed.

A quote from a Park Lane Campus student...
“The Safeguarding and Welfare team checked on my friend and offered support, they’re always ready to lend a hand whether your problem is big, small, or you just need to stress less!”
“The Careers, Work Experience and Progression team talked me through options like the Erasmus Scheme where you can study abroad and pursue local work experience opportunities.
I didn’t feel like they were pushing me into anything but they made recommendations based on my interests and experience.
I’m now feeling positive about my future. I’m so glad I spoke to the Student Life team, they made sure that I had a great experience at the college.”
A quote from a Printworks Campus student...
“I spoke to the Student Funds team, they were great! They helped me out with travel passes and free lunches, and they don’t judge at all!
I also told them about how worried I was about making friends, but they understood me straight away.
They introduced me to the Students’ Union (LCCSU) that has loads of exciting activities to get involved with. There’s The Big Debate each year and you can even go on trips to London, Alton Towers, and Blackpool.
I’m nearly at the end of my course now and I’m so grateful to the Student Life team for all of their help. They’ve helped me so much with my personal circumstances.”
