The workshop will share the experience, learnings, and best practice from a multi-university collaboration to build capacity and pilot programmes to support Enterprise/Entrepreneurship Education for women considering self-employment and business start-up. In 2021 Robert Gordon University (RGU) launched a programme for women with parental responsibilities to build their knowledge and confidence to start businesses which would give them flexibility and control in their lives. In 2023 the Scottish Gov Pathways Report made recommendations to increase Entrepreneurial support and opportunities for women and RGU was awarded Pathways Funding to share practice and support two other universities to build capacity to run similar programmes. This workshop will include details of the programme, will engage the audience with some of the activities, discussions and reflections and will include stories from some participants, and from the two universities collaborating in the ‘train the trainer’ pilot: Stirling and University of West Scotland (UWS).
