The IOEE has partnered with high profile hairdressers TONI&GUY to launch a series of unique learning programmes – Creating Enterprise. Designed to cultivate enterprising spirit in young people studying creative subjects and to arm them with valuable business skills, the programmes will be delivered by approved IOEE Academies, including universities and colleges across the UK.

Creating Enterprise promises to be a game-changing route to developing existing enterprising traits and to gaining new enterprise skills. Launching next week at the
the Association of Colleges’ (AoC) Annual Conference and Exhibition, the programmes have been written with hairdressing, art, design and fashion students in mind, as well as others studying creative subjects. Boosting entrepreneurial ability and nurturing in students a belief in the possibility of a rewarding and enterprising future, Creating Enterprise is an innovative concept. The IOEE has previously designed and developed a number of superb qualifications specifically for delivery within TONI&GUY academies. Toni Pascolo, Founder of TONI&GUY, said:

“Without the skills to focus their entrepreneurial spirit, innovative, talented people are without direction. This programme will provide exactly that, helping students to utilise their innate creativity while understanding and taking commercial opportunities.”

Sarah Trouten, Chief executive of the IOEE, who has overseen the development of Creating Enterprise and will be leading the product’s launch to universities, colleges and other IOEE training providers said:

“Combining TONI&GUY’S unparalleled industry knowledge with the IOEE’s unique enterprise in education standpoint has been a fantastically rewarding process and the result is an engaging, comprehensive programme with broad appeal to young people. These are exceptionally exciting times for the IOEE and I believe Creating Enterprise will have a very positive impact on many young learners’ lives.”
