PROJECT SUMMARY

This event, organised by Aylesbury College's Business Engagement Manager, aimed to engage with senior personnel from businesses in and around Aylesbury, with the focus of the event being 'Training and progression up to Level 5'. The event featured Mike Clare, President of the bed company Dreams, as guest speaker. Mike, an example of a successful Bucks-based entrepreneur, gave a talk entitled 'Making Dreams Come True'.

The event was part-sponsored by Progress South Central in conjunction with Business Link and Aylesbury College. Two members of Progress South Central's core team were in attendance. Progress South Central's Development Manager (Creative Industries) gave a short presentation about the Lifelong Learning Network and its relevance to those present.

IMPACT

Over 60 members of the local business community registered to attend. The event sold out quickly and Mike Clare was felt to have been an inspiring and motivating guest speaker.
