Volume 506: debated on Wednesday 24 February 2010

To ask the Minister of State, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills how many students from each UK university have attended a Make it Happen event held by their university in association with his Department; and how many such students have since enrolled on the self-employment and business start-up programme. (316924)

The Make it Happen programme is aimed primarily at unemployed graduates, however, students—especially final year students—are not discouraged from attending a Make it Happen event.

The table attached shows the number of graduates and students from each UK university that have attended one of the Make It Happen events at any convenient university and the number of graduates and students who have registered for the subsequent self employment and business start up programmes from their first availability on 24 September 2009 to 10 February 2010.

Table to show the number of students and graduates from each UK university that have attended a Make it Happen event and the number of students and graduates who have registered for the self-employment and business start-up programmes.
