The Kingston Entrepreneurs Society caters to for the needs of enterprising students by students themselves. The student Society hosts events throughout the year and takes an active role in enterprise and entrepreneurship. The society provides full support to students willing to set up their own business or looking to develop their skills to get into the employment. For more details please contact, Anthony Ogunbowale-Thomas, entrepreneurship@kingston.ac.uk
SIFE (Students In Free Enterprise) is the world’s largest university-based, non-profit organisation. The students, guided by university and business advisers, form a student-led SIFE team to develop sustainable projects which create economic opportunity for others. Students take what they are learning in their classrooms about business and use it to solve real world problems for real people. The SIFE program concentrates on five areas: market economics, success skills, entrepreneurship, financial literacy and business ethics.
SIFE teams present the results of their community projects annually at regional, national and international competitions. The Kingston SIFE team was launched in 2007/08 academic year and successfully completed four projects from setting up and running enterprise programmes in local schools to mentoring young businesses in Ethiopia. The Kingston SIFE team has won The SIFE Spirit of Enterprise League.
