Next Level banner

Next Level is a series of in-person workshops and advice sessions dedicated to helping you develop a value proposition, business model canvas, pitching skills, learning the social impacts of businesses, and how to conduct consumer research. These skills are key to bringing a project idea to life.

WeNetwork is partnering with industry experts to bring you Next Level. You’ll have access to professionals who can act as mentors and advisors to provide the guidance you need to take your project or idea to the next level.

You can register for Next Level by: 

  • Submitting an idea you wish to develop further
  • Using a course project or dissertation to find a long-term purpose for it

If you do not have an idea or assessment project and still wish to participate, you’ll be put into a team to support another student's project. This way, you can still access the support offered and develop your skills. You can decide to work as part of a team or develop your work as an individual.
