Student Inc. Programme Highlights
My Highlights of the student Inc. programme included the sales mentoring session with Maria Coakley as well as the mentoring I received from Frank Hannigan, which was exceptionally insightful. I felt that the real life experience that these mentors had was of great benefit and help to us.
What connections did you make on the programme?
Throughout the programme, I have made numerous connections not only with business people who will be vital to the growth and development of Make a Mark but I have also made connections with many fellow entrepreneurs who I will remain in contact with.
