Business school to carry out Goldman Sachs scheme
Aston Business School has been selected to conduct the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses programme.
Mark Hart, professor of small business and entrepreneurship at the school, will lead the research project, which aims to determine the economic and job creation potential of small businesses and social enterprises operating in the UK.
Between 25 and 30 selected businesses from the Midlands will take part in the fully-funded programme over 12 weeks.
The scheme will focus on developing the practical skills and knowledge that small business and social enterprise leaders require as they grow their businesses.
There will be four preview evenings prior to the launch of the 10,000 Small Businesses programme. These will be held on Monday 19 September at Coventry TechnoCentre; Tuesday 20 September at Lakeside Centre, Aston University; Thursday 22 September at Birmingham Chamber of Commerce and Monday 26 September at Wolverhampton Science Park.
