Creating Enterprising Colleges conference
Date:Tuesday 1 July
Venue:
CCT Venues - Smithfield, London EC1
Summary:
Further education is the natural home of enterprise, connecting academic and vocational students with business in a flexible environment. Building both broad enterprise knowledge and specific skills is crucial to unlocking the UK’s entrepreneurial talent and to raising productivity.
For FE institutions, building a reputation for enterprise will be vital to drive college improvement, enhance employer engagement, improve student retention and secure funding streams for the future. Since 2005, all KS4 students have been entitled to at least five days enterprise education per year. The Government has now committed some £210m over three years to create a seamless enterprise education journey for young people of all ages, from primary through to higher education.
In the context of the new Enterprise Strategy and the launch of the first National Enterprise Academy, this national conference will set out how to embed enterprise right across your FE institution. Hearing from education leaders, entrepreneurs and good practice case studies, delegates will share “how-to-do-it” ideas in learning and teaching, work experience and creating truly enterprising colleges.
