What is Enterprise?
Enterprise is more than just starting a business and making money. Being enterprising gives an individual a positive outlook, an ability to see the glass as half full rather than half empty, and is a valuable attribute for life.
It's about:
- innovative thinking and opportunity spotting
- problem solving
- communicating
- project management and budgeting
- risk taking and building resilience.
Enterprise is about a positive attitude and equipping people with the confidence to develop a career and vocational interests.
Developing enterprise skills and capabilities creates self-belief that starting a business is a viable career choice and one of the most exciting and challenging things a person will ever do. It is a skill that is highly sought after by many national recruiters.
