I was delighted to be selected as one of the first contributors to new Enterprise Ireland New Frontiers blog – the post addressed ‘how to craft your value proposition‘.

 

New Frontiers is Ireland’s national entrepreneur development programme, delivered at a local level by Institutes of Technology and funded by Enterprise Ireland. I am delighted to continue to be involved in training delivery and mentoring for the New Frontiers programmes in DKIT, GMIT, LyIT and IT Sligo, and IT Tralee since this national programme was launched in 2012.

 

There is a really good YouTube video (2 minutes 50 seconds) on the programme featuring previous participants.
