Members can access materials relating to this area of work on our Membership Resources Site.
Enterprise and entrepreneurship education provides interventions that are focused on supporting behaviours, attributes and competencies that are likely to have a significant impact on the individual students in terms of successful careers.
Our resources for members offer practical examples intended to inform, enhance and promote the development of enterprise and entrepreneurship education across UK higher education. These enhance our publicly available Enterprise and entrepreneurship education: Guidance for higher UK education providers.
