Sheffield SIFE

Sheffield SIFE (Sheffield Students in Free Enterprise) is a Social Enterprise Company, based at the University of Sheffield, which through both social and commercial projects, aims to harness students entrepreneurial and volunteering spirit to make a difference in the Sheffield community and around the world. We have 290 students working on over 30... life changing projects which together have made an impact on the lives of 3,215 people and raised over 30,000 pounds last year for our company. Our projects include helping a group of visually impaired children to run their own company, helping 4 impoverished communities in rural Ghana, helping the homeless across Sheffield and running an array of our own commercial revenue-generating businesses, which make money for SIFE and the students involved. Students are involved in the planning, management and running of each project. Each team runs its own meetings, decides on plans of action and balances its own finances. If you join you'll be working as part of a real business as Sheffield SIFE is a registered limited company. This helps students gain vital real world business experience and life skills essential for when you graduate. Plus, top recruiters know about the high quality of SIFE students so it'll be great for your CV. We want to promote entrepreneurship across all of Sheffield, and we welcome students from all departments at both Universities. Our teams consist of students from a broad range of degree courses, from 1st year Linguistics to Post Graduate Computer Science, and of course many students from the Management School. If you are interested in working with Sheffield SIFE, you are welcome to join us at any point during the year - just email us atcontact@sheffieldsife.org.Read More
