[HLUG] Marches LEP

[Pete]

Hi Gang,
No cash yet, but this is in the bid document. Too late for comment but 
should we make contact as a group?

Consultation on the Marches LEP European Structural and
Investment Funds Strategy 2014 – 2020: Five Strategic Priorities

Extract.

If the Marches is to address its comparatively low level of enterprise 
start-ups,
inspiring a new generation of entrepreneurs will be essential.
Complementary to the wider skills and employment agenda, the business
support framework will create links to schools and colleges and deliver a
progression of targeted activity from primary school right through to 
colleges.
At primary level business speakers, coding clubs, enterprise 
competitions and
STEM summer camps will engage younger children, while for older students
and colleges the support framework will champion participation in 
national and
global activities such as global Start-up Weekend and MADESheffield. We
will champion the setting up of enterprises with start up advice, 
mentoring and
graduate job clubs and facilitate start up weekends, hackathons and online
competitions encouraging collaboration and innovation.
