Enterprising Students Hold 'Crunch Meeting'
Entrepreneurial students at NI's South West College recently held a 'crunch' meeting with marketing experts at the snack food manufacturer, Tayto, as part of a scheme to develop their business skills.
The event was organised as part of the Advancing Enterprise project and designed to encourage students to become creative in generating new business ideas as they worked to produce a new product to complement the brand's existing range.
Teams of business students from the Dungannon, Enniskillen and Omagh campuses presented their business ideas to a panel of expert judges, headed up by Tayto's Marketing Manager, Nina Doyle, (pictured with some of the students involved).
Designed to inspire entrepreneurial thinking and enable students to gain valuable guidance from industry experts, the challenge is one of a series activities being held across the college through the Advancing Enterprise project, which also provides support to those who have already taken steps towards being their own boss.
In recognition of the students' creative work, the participants earned a special 'crunch' guest visit to Tayto Castle in Tandragee to learn more about how the iconic range of Northern Ireland crisps and snacks are made.
