Enabling Enterprise:
Enabling Enterprise is a not-for-profit company, set up by a team of teachers in 2008. Our mission is to equip young people with the skills, aspirations and experiences they need to succeed in life.
Across the curriculum:
Enabling Enterprise programmes help teachers by integrating skills development into different areas of the curriculum. So, to help history lessons come alive, students create and carry out a campaign on a local issue; in French, they set up a business with an international flavour; in Maths, they design a new sport for the Olympics. All the while, developing skills that are subject-specific – like using as shape work and modelling to design an Olympic arena – and enterprising – like working in teams, turning ideas into plans, giving presentations and communicating effectively.
Business partners and supporters:
Enabling Enterprise students also participate in termly events with leading companies including UBS Bank, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP, Oliver Wyman management consultancy, and Manchester Airport. We’re delighted to have their support and involvement in our programmes.
We’re also pleased to receive support from the Young Foundation, UnLtd, education charity Edge.
Our director Tom Ravenscroft has been recognised with two national teaching awards in 2009 and as one of the ‘top 10’ young social entrepreneurs in the UK in 2010.
