6. Employability and Enterprise Student Testimony “It enabled us to look at the different skills you need to do things other than those related to performing, teaching or gigging. I enjoyed the module more than I thought I would.” “As a mature student I have had a lot of jobs and finishing University I wanted to have a better job than I had before. The module helps you to develop entrepreneurial skills that are really important in the industry.” “It made me realise what being a musician involves… I really needed to realise that. I remember the first three or four sessions. My heart was pounding and I was really excited.” Taken from WLV Dialogue article by Vickie Warren
