Coleg Cambria Celebrates Accomplished Global Enterprise Week

Coleg Cambria celebrated a vibrant Global Enterprise Week (GEW), showcasing its reputation as a pioneering force for entrepreneurship and business support.

Hundreds of learners engaged in workshops, talks, competitions and hands-on enterprise experiences aligned with the GEW 2025 theme – Together We Build.

From Foundation to Level 3, students explored real start-up journeys, social enterprise models and the growing opportunities available to young entrepreneurs in Wales.

Judith Alexander, Enterprise and Entrepreneurship Coordinator at Coleg Cambria, which has sites in Wrexham, Deeside, Northop and Llysfasi, said: “It was so exciting to see how engaged and enthused our learners are to get involved with a range of entrepreneurial activities and workshops this year.

“Global Enterprise Week always gives us an extra boost to promote our offer and encourage more learners to consider self-employment and starting their own businesses as a valid career path.

“We are blessed to be supported by organizations like NatWest, the Welsh Government and local businesses who contribute to the success of GEW and our wider enterprise provision.”

Highlights included a ‘Dragon’s Den’ style pitch competition, where learners presented business ideas to a panel of judges, and workshops on marketing, finance and social media.

Coleg Cambria’s commitment to enterprise extends beyond GEW, with a dedicated enterprise Hub offering support and resources to students and alumni looking to start or grow their own businesses.They also run a successful ‘Business Start-Up’ program and provide mentoring opportunities.

Alexander added: “We want to empower our learners with the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the world of work, and entrepreneurship is a key part of that.”
