Enterprise education is a key element of the non-statutory work-related learning framework, aiming to encourage young people to be more enterprising. Enterprise education consists of enterprise capability, supported by financial capability and economic and business understanding.

Enterprise capability is the ability to handle uncertainty and respond positively to change, to create and implement new ideas and ways of doing things, to make reasonable risk/reward assessments and act upon them in one’s personal and working life. It can be described as: innovation, risk-management, a ‘can-do’ attitude and the drive to make ideas happen.

The exemplar case studies illustrate how subjects within the curriculum can support students in developing enterprise as part of their work-related learning at key stage 4. In most cases the examples indicate the specific skills developed by the activities.
