Make a store successful

Do you want to know how to run a successful shop? Or learn how to run your own business during your studies? Not from books or classes, but in practice? In your own shop? You can! In our Stores.

Be your own boss in the store

A Store is a shop run by third-year economics students. They are the "boss" of the shop for a year. They decide which products to sell, what their sales strategy will be, and how to attract customers. And, importantly: they have to make a profit! The students are responsible for the shop. Will you be too?

Interested in Store?

Contact your study advisor. Or visit our Stores in Leidschendam and Zoetermeer. Talk to the students and hear how much they're learning in the Store.

Entrepreneurial behavior can be learned

You want to learn to take initiative. To voice your own opinion. To try new things or take on challenges. In other words, you want to develop entrepreneurial skills. Good for you. Because that's really important these days. At mboRijnland, you can strengthen your entrepreneurial skills.

Entrepreneurial behavior takes you further

Entrepreneurial behavior means taking initiative, seeing and seizing opportunities, sharing your opinion, and collaborating. This behavior will help you move forward. With entrepreneurial behavior, you'll be able to do the things you find important. A unique internship, for example. Or an internship or course abroad.

Elective: entrepreneurial behaviour

At mboRijnland, you can take the Entrepreneurial Behavior elective. This program teaches you perseverance, creativity, curiosity, and flexibility. You'll also learn to set clear goals. All entrepreneurial skills. You'll immediately put these skills into practice, whether during your internship, at a community organization, or during masterclasses at InHolland University of Applied Sciences and exciting challenges.
