Mission and purpose • Into enterprise will inspire, encourage and develop young entrepreneurs across the borough of Camden.

Outcomes • ‘The support has given me direction. I had the business idea for months but not really progressed with it, now we have all these suggestions such as pop up shops and stalls etc it has opened up so many options.’ • ‘Into Enterprise has made me feel important, because someone is remembering me. They are prepared to accommodate any idea, no matter how small or silly, they are always willing to help you.’ • ‘...it has been straightforward. Perfect. It is what it is.’ • ‘The project staff are always very helpful and I would like to single them out. They always try and find a solution for you and for that I am grateful.’ Shared Intelligence Report April 2013
IMPACT • Direction • “This has given me hope that something is going to come, that I am doing something good. Something right. This will help me get something out there.” • Ongoing sense of support • “I see this as a call off arrangement, something there when I need it.’” • Extended contacts and networks • “The services and programmes are very helpful and the networking is a good way of meeting other young entrepreneurs and to get motivated.” • Increased confidence • “The support has helped me progress more quickly that if I was doing alone.” • Shared Intelligence Report 2013

Improving the programme More promotion “It’s not widely known and is more luck that I got involved.” Closer working with JCP “JCP need to be pushed to promote this, but then it depends on your Advisor.” Sharper definition of the Into Enterprise facilities “It does not feel like a dedicated business environment, as there is always lots of chaos being right by the college entrance.” The amount of space “there is a need for more space for workplaces, in its own building.” Shared intelligence Report 2013
Conclusions • Demonstrates needs and interests • Delivers gap in provision • Links to strategic priorities around youth unemployment Phase 2 will involve: • Building peer mentoring models • Building programme into schools and colleges • Building case studies for each curriculum area
