Bringing Industry and Enterprise into the classroom

Employers require a future workforce that is enterprising, innovative and skilful in order for their businesses to stay ahead of the competition. To equip students with these skills we have developed The Enterprise Day Programme.

Enterprise Days are a fun and interactive way for students to experience a range of business and enterprise activities…….. in school.

How do they work?

With Liverpool Compact EBP’s help, a group of Employers run Business/Enterprise workshops, simulations or problem solving exercises for small groups of students. They aim to give the students an understanding of how different areas of business work and to generate enthusiasm for enterprise, encouraging new entrepreneurs!

Activities normally last up to an hour and a half.

Students may be asked to design and market a new product, build a new housing development or even plan a wedding! Whatever the task, it will link the workplace to the curriculum.

Enterprise Days are aimed at developing students’ Key Skills including team work, presentation, communication, creative thinking, financial planning, problem solving and leadership.

Benefits to your business

We think it is important that employers have an input into young people’s education and help up skill the future workforce.  We challenged a group of young people to be Wedding Co-ordinators for the day, to market the venue, choose the menu and even decorate the tables! They learnt quickly and we were amazed at their creativity.
