Future Developments

To establish a community of trading ventures that can exist as either real or virtual entities and to offer students access to appropriate work related learning.

These will be regulated within a realistic community that offers access to both accredited and non-accredited learning that will give an opportunity to practise the career life choices each student will make.

It will also provide the University with a resource to attract external funding, real world consultancy projects and a strong link to the network of local small to medium enterprises.
