The new ‘Learn to Earn’ facility has been launched which offers students the opportunity to showcase and sell their work and skills via a pop up shop in the College.
It is a chance for them to access the rest of the student body and sell items such as jewellery, art or services such as manicures etc.
There are three packages available, ranging from a basic presence in the busiest reception at the College through to links to the College social media promotion.
Students also have the opportunity to exhibit their creative work in the recently revamped Starkey Gallery on the first floor at the Sutton College Sutton Centre. External exhibiting artists will also display their works, offering a new lease of life to the Starkey Gallery area and an exciting programme of exhibitions.
The SHINE (Sutton College Hub for Innovation, Networking & Entrepreneurship) initiative was set up in November 2012 as part of a collaborative project with the London Borough of Sutton (LBS) and the Outer London Fund project.
Based from our North Cheam centre, a full programme of one off business support seminars was developed to run throughout the year with nearly 200 attendees since the initiative started. The seminars were delivered by local entrepreneurs, area experts and business people.
