Enterprise
It is recognised that ‘Enterprise Education’ is a term for an approach to learning and teaching that has evolved over recent years. The concept of enterprise in education continues to evolve.
Breast Cancer Care: It was pink all over as the Student Council raised £848 for Breast Cancer Care withstudents and staff taking part in Pink Friday.
Enterprise Education assists young people to become more enterprising in their approach to life and in particular work.It provides a focus on the development of entrepreneurship, and supports the learning of financial capability, employability skills and economic well being.
It encompasses core skills, employability skills, career education, work based/related learning and aspects of personal and social development.
Enterprise education motivates young people at all stages: as they see purpose and relevance in their college work to their future lives, young people are motivated and attain better. The enhanced currency of education through enterprise is as significant for those young people likely to be disaffected as for those performing well in school.
In the context of Blackpool, where the future of the community itself will rely on the enterprising and entrepreneurial attributes of its people, enterprise education is as much an economic imperative as an educational one. The College will provide opportunities for students to develop their skills in enterprise capability, financial literacy for all students with business and economic understanding.
Blackpool Sixth Wins Enterprise Award
The Sixth Form has received national recognition for the excellence of its work in enterprise. We are the first college in the country to be given the prestigious Excellence in Enterprise Education award from the Centre for Education and Industry at Warwick University. The assessors were particularly impressed by the extremely wide scope of enterprise activities in the College and the achievements of students taking part in them.
