Summary
At IEEC2019, Lord Bilimoria suggested that enterprise education ‘needed to start in schools’, a sentiment expressed in Lord Young’s Enterprise for All report, which recommends a ‘captive, continuous and coherent’ enterprise education journey through school and beyond to further and higher education.
This event explored how universities are taking a role supporting and engaging with this agenda, developing delegates’ understanding of the policy context and learning from examples of school outreach, engagement with universities’ Schools/Faculties of Education and CPD practice. It was of interest to university enterprise teams who want to develop or expand their provision to connect with schools and colleges, and to staff and colleagues who are interested in, or developing their skills and knowledge in this area.
The event comprised a series of sessions, facilitated by EEUK Associates who have experience of working in this area. The session included a mix of presentations, discussion, and sharing of initiatives and activities that are being used in practice.
The audience identified the role universities can play in supporting the enterprise pipeline and considered school focused provision and how it effects the enterprise interest and capability of university students.
