Last month IOEE Chief Executive Sarah Trouten was invited to join Manchester Metropolitan University’s (MMU) Business School’s Business and Enterprise Advisory Board.

The Business School, which gained the title of IOEE Centre of Excellence last year, is the central focus for the university’s ambition to deliver entrepreneurial enterprise education across faculties. As a board member, Sarah is involved with advising on the suite of programmes taught in the Business School, as well the embedding of an enterprise culture within these.

She said: “Increasingly, enterprise and the cultivation of entrepreneurial young minds are at the heart of Higher Education. Today’s graduates need to be commercially-minded creative pioneers who can generate excellent ideas and then turn them to profit either for themselves or for their employers. Joining MMU Business School’s Business and Enterprise Board is an excellent chance to be part of that."
