Kick off with 40 student-entrepreneurs at Start Up Campus Haarlem
For the next five months, more than 40 students from five different locations and more than fourteen different courses will work on their own business at Start Up Campus Haarlem (SUCH).
I always had a lot of difficulty finding other young people who were also interested in starting a business and I feel like I definitely achieved this!
SUCH is part of Inholland University of Applied Sciences and offers extracurricular programs. The students who participate consciously choose to invest in their own development as entrepreneurs and receive support from their teachers. “It's great to see how the interaction is becoming stronger and stronger. As Inholland, we really offer a total package for entrepreneurship,” says SUCH community manager Jorien Stoop.
SUCH created a safe space for us to open up and give each other feedback. There were many different business areas and all friendly and kind people!
In addition to the Dutch-language start-up and growth program, SUCH also offers an English-language start-up program. Because international students can't wait to start their own business.
“We continue to do our best to involve our former participants. We regularly organize events or extra workshops that are accessible to everyone in our community. It is really fantastic to see that the more advanced entrepreneurs can help the newcomers get started again.” says Jorien. “Over the next five months we will be working on for example startups in digital services, fashion and the construction of gardens. Beautiful, right?”
The students work with expert trainers in inspiring workshops, events, peer coaching and, above all, expanding their network.
The atmosphere was good and relaxed, you could ask anything about the subject and you would get a clear and good answer, it was a great experience, I learned a lot of new things in the field of entrepreneurship and got to know new people.
In the coming months, SUCH will be sharing stories from entrepreneurial students. You can follow us on Instagram and LinkedIn.
