Enterprise refers to a set of personal abilities, skills and behaviours which can be used in a variety of different contexts whilst entrepreneurship refers to an individual or group of individuals creating, developing and managing a new venture. The institution refers to the organisation you work in, whether this is a school, further education college, higher education institution or private training provider.
