The Ignite programme aims to develop enterprising individuals, people who can spot opportunities or problems and come up with an innovative way to change things for the better. Places are offered to students who wish to learn how to become more enterprising, employable, and creative. It also offers a learning opportunity for those thinking of setting up a businesses or developing an idea.
As an annual a joint collaboration between Cardiff University, Cardiff Metropolitan University, University of Glamorgan, and University of Newport, it has successfully grown year after year. Fifteen students from each institution attend Ignite and this provides students with the opportunity to work with students from other institutions.
Ignite uses a variety of teaching methods to develop student’s skills and abilities. Some of the highlights of previous events include workshops on body language skills, tips surrounding personal projection and control, session on social enterprises and workshops delivered by local entrepreneurs.
This 4 day event culminates in a 24 hour business challenge. Teams pitch for their seed money in a tough Welsh Dragons Den. The challenge involves going out into the city of Cardiff to put what the students learnt to the test through various negotiation and selling techniques. It also means that students have to develop a business idea from scratch, implement it and make a profit from their one day.
