Enterprise education explained for teachers, home educators and parents. These guides set out what enterprise education covers - creativity, problem-solving, money, teamwork and resilience - and the evidence behind it, including how early exposure to business links to confidence and to fewer young people ending up not in education, employment or training. You'll find practical ways to deliver it in a primary or secondary classroom, an after-school club or at home, with ideas that work for a single lesson as well as a full enterprise week. We also look at the skills employers say school leavers are missing, and the founder stories that make the subject feel real. Use these guides alongside our courses for ages 9 to 18 and the free resource library to plan your next session.
