Drawing on HELP’s own start-up and successful emergence as both a business and social enterprise, and expressing its core value of sharing success, the HELP Master of Entrepreneurship (MER) was initiated to support the growth of dynamic entrepreneurship and ignite the entrepreneurial spirit in individuals to actualise their aspirations.
