Challenging young women to dream bigger

Dream Bigger is a fully funded programme focused on developing transferrable entrepreneurial skills in 16-18 year old females across the UK. Our aim is to drive confidence in preparation for the future world of work and impact the percentage of women who intend to start a business.

As an organisation, the Ulster Bank champions potential and helps people, families and businesses to thrive - and as part of the UK’s biggest banking group for business - we understand the skills required for the future world of work.

Designed to activate the recommendations of the Rose Review of Female Entrepreneurship, led by our NatWest group. Our mission is to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs by embedding entrepreneurial education in the curriculum across the UK.

By engaging with Dream Bigger, students will:

• Broaden career horizons and develop awareness of entrepreneurship as a possible future career
• Develop future skills and capabilities in young women, leading to increased confidence and resilience
• Bridge the gap between education and the workplace, preparing young women for the future world of work
• Develop awareness, understanding and self-reflection of themselves and others
• In addition to the above, we will support schools to evidence specific educational and career benchmarks, such as the Career Education Standard and The Education Inspection Framework (Ofsted).
