The Climb... Events at DKA
DKA students at the Birmingham Mosaic Network Enterprise Bootcamp - with Melody Hussaini
10 students from Year 9 had the opportunity to attend a business bootcamp led by Melody Hussaini former contestant on BBC Apprentice. The students had a really enjoyable time and learnt a huge amount about setting up and running a successful social enterprise. Melody was a really engaging and inspirational speaker and helped the students develop the knowledge to be able to effectively plan and implement business ideas. The train journey was extremely busy but students had a really fun time and some of them even made the most of the spare time and did some reading!
Students utilising their time by reading on the journey back!
