Glenalmond College in Perthshire has become the first school to launch an entrepreneurship programme with Oxford University's Saïd Business School.
Glenalmond College in Perthshire has become the first school in the world to launch an entrepreneurship programme in partnership with Oxford University's Saïd Business School. Around 50 pupils aged 14 to 17 attended the opening session on 6 November, which focused on developing an entrepreneurial mindset.
The session was led by Professor Pinar Ozcan, academic director of the Oxford Saïd Entrepreneurship Centre, and featured guest speaker Lucy Mullins, an entrepreneur and co-founder of the fintech company Stepladder. Jenny Davey, warden of Glenalmond College, said the school was 'proud that Glenalmond is the first school to work with the Saïd Business School and the University of Oxford to use the wisdom and experience of female founders to inspire the entrepreneurs of tomorrow'.
The Inspiring Female Founders programme is part of a global Oxford Saïd platform led by Professor Ozcan. It aims to address the gender gap in entrepreneurship by introducing young people to successful female founders and helping them build essential business skills. Pupils will ultimately take their pitch to Oxford University itself.
