| Programme outline |
|
| Strengths |
Open Enterprise programmes facilitate developed links
between local schools and local employers, and in doing
so provide an effective vehicle for employers to understand
and support Enterprise Education.
All programmes are in-company and are hosted by employees
of that company. School input is an essential part of the
process in defining the curriculum content of all Open
Enterprise programmes. Through liaison with the host organisations,
Open Enterprise programmes afford schools with a range
of potential dates/timings for their in-company visit.
