Interactive Workshops

Our additional products and services are aligned with practical learning concepts to enable learners to have the opportunity to apply their knowledge within a practical situation whilst  challenging them in a business scenario.

At NACUE, we understand the importance and need in developing front facing leaders and we ensure our programmes are contributing to the requirements of annual student satisfaction surveys such as the National Student Survey (NSS), Graduate Outcomes Survey and Higher Education-Business and Community Interaction Survey (HEBCI) in supporting the recognition which educational institutions rightly deserve.

Interactive workshops introduce methods and co-creation techniques to support learners to build their practical skills and confidence on defining Persona, creating a Value Proposition Map, designing a Customer Experience Map and preparing a compelling 60-second Elevator Pitch.

These workshops are suitable for both further and higher education institutions.

Value Proposition, Persona and Customer Experience Mapping: This workshop will introduce a series of practical tools and collaborative techniques: Persona, Value Proposition Map and Customer Experience Map, in order to enable learners to understand their customers’ needs and break their value proposition down to services and products, pains and gains by stepping into their customers’ shoes in order to design services and products that customers want to experience.

Within the space of three hours, the session will enable learners to apply their practical knowledge to create persona, a value proposition map and design a customer experience map for their business idea by understanding how services work and how they can be improved.

Elevate Your Pitch: This workshop will introduce methods and co-creation techniques to support student entrepreneurs to build their skills and confidence for creating a compelling 60-second Elevator Pitch. Your students will learn how to concisely present their concept in three succinct paragraphs, perfect their 60-second elevator pitch by using proven methods and techniques throughout this interactive session. Within three hours, the workshop will enable learners to apply their newly acquired knowledge, to be able to instantly pitch themselves or their business at any random moment, whilst building their confidence to apply for pitching competitions which could be the next step to kickstarting their business idea.

Powering the Enterprising Generation

Our mission is to support the development of education and student engagement throughout college and universities by championing student enterprise societies and peer-to-peer learning. NACUE started from an extraordinary movement in student entrepreneurship, providing young individuals with a platform to be experimental, creative and inspiring in their approach to enterprise and entrepreneurship, encouraging a bottom-up approach to inspiring the next generation.


Today, we see over 200 enterprise societies, powered by peer-to-peer groups, who are championing the success of young people throughout their interactive programmes by forging collaborative relationships with their institutions to provide greater experience and development opportunities for their peers. Establishing regional links with locals SME’s who are keen to open their doors to emerging talented, proactive and enthusiastic graduates perpetuates this.


Our work is dedicated to supporting the development and encouragement of entrepreneurship amongst young individuals and forms the sole purpose of NACUE. To learn more about NACUE and the services we produce, click here.

As a not-for-profit, we raise charitable donations that allow us to widen the opportunities available to young people in relation to enterprise and entrepreneurship, strengthening student engagement, the quality of education and connecting and representing student enterprise societies and student entrepreneurs worldwide.

NACUE is a charitable organisation that supports 32,000 students and young people every year. As funding becomes harder to obtain, we rely on the generous support of donors to ensure our programs can continue to change the lives and aspirations of the younger generation.


A donation of any size goes a long way to furthering our work and really is greatly appreciated. Every gift matters in aiding our mission of ‘Powering the Enterprising Generation' but we mainly rely upon the generosity of our members and alumni to do this. By making a single or regular donation you can make a big difference. To learn more about how you can donate, please follow the links below.
