Overview

This standard is about making sense of the value in your own networks and relationships, as an enterprise and entrepreneurship educator, which will support experiences of the learner.  It requires you to map your own networks, identify strong and weak ties in your networks and reflect on ways of getting others involved in the development and delivery of enterprise and entrepreneurship education.

For the purposes of this standard, enterprise and entrepreneurship education refers to the process of equipping learners with an enhanced capacity, ideas and skills to make ideas happen, whether it is in the context of starting and running a business or working for someone else.  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.  Institution refers to the organisation you work in, whether this is a school, further education college, higher education institution or private training provider.

This standard is recommended for individuals involved in the design, development and delivery of enterprise and entrepreneurship education curricula in schools, colleges, higher education institutions and other education contexts.
