The Deloitte Micro-Tyco University Challenge is designed to give entrepreneurial students an opportunity to stand out.
This is an exercise in resourcefulness, creativity and entrepreneurship, as well as realising the potential of networks, so business tactics are down to you. It’s an excellent chance to apply your entrepreneurial skills in a meaningful way.
Starting with £1 seed capital, teams of five students will have four weeks to generate as much profit as possible. As long as it’s legal, Deloitte have no qualms about how students raise that profit.
Outcomes
Deloitte are partnering with Wild Hearts In Action, who invest in entrepreneurs in developing countries. All profits will be used to fund projects abroad, with the winning team being invited to travel out and see the impact their profit has made.
Help from Deloitte
Each team will be allocated a Deloitte mentor who will provide support and encouragement throughout the challenge, along with access to online tools and resources.
Key dates
The challenge runs throughout February 2014, but students will need to complete an application form by Friday 24th January. It is open to first and second year undergraduates.
