Understand the role and responsibilities of an enterprise and entrepreneurship educator
Overview
This standard is about understanding your role and responsibilities as an enterprise and entrepreneurship educator. It requires you to understand the value of enterprise and entrepreneurship education, in supporting the journey of the learner, reflect on the activities undertaken by enterprise and entrepreneurship educators and identify the fit of enterprise and entrepreneurship education with other activity in the institution.
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.
