BUDDING entrepreneurs have been given lessons in how to gain success in the corporate world by leading business people.

Representatives from Burnley Enterprise Trust Ltd joined local business owners at Nelson and Colne College where they ran a series of sessions with A-Level and vocational business studies students.

In the hour-and-a-half workshops, which ran between Monday October 6 and Friday October 10, students were given advice on how to achieve their goal of entrepren-eurship and self-employment.

They were given an insight into running a business as well as the opportunity to ask Burnley Enterprise and visiting entrepreneurs questions.

The event follows on from an Apprentice-type television-show style project, undertaken by students earlier this year.
