Student Opportunity: Jersey College LEAP Summer Leadership Programme
July 10 - September 17
The LEAP programme develops business, entrepreneurial and leadership skills through launching social enterprise projects to target key global issues, based on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals from the United Nations. International and local students develop their own ideas into a business pitch.
Global experts act as coaches, mentors and guides, before becoming investors, ready to provide real-life funding after the final pitch.
Our commitment is to run an introspective, supportive programme, which teases out different types of leadership styles, embraces female empowerment, and helps students equip themselves to lead in a world which they positively shape.
Included in previous LEAPs:
- Students from over 30 countries
- Prize funding
- Multiple social enterprise projects pitched in the Investor Chamber
- CEO’s, managing directors, as trainers and mentors

“I am so grateful for the opportunity to participate in this program because it was an incredible opportunity that not many young women have access to. I am extremely interested in entrepreneurship, and this program has taught me a lot about leading a team, collaboration, and starting and running a business. Jersey was the perfect location for this incubator because I felt safe at all times to explore the island and take advantage of its resources. “
