Business and Enterprise are rich and varied subjects that prepare students for all aspects of working life. No matter what industry students will eventually find themselves in after their learning journey, they will need to work successfully and understand the nature of working in an organisation with other people and clear objectives. All businesses need enterprising employees to drive their organisations forward, to have ideas and initiatives to instigate growth, and to ensure that businesses survive in this fast-changing world. Business and Enterprise are a key government focus and is set to form an important part of the UK’s global economic status, both now and in the future. Students will consider the practical application of business concepts whilst conducting their own research and applying their understanding within the assessments of written reports and developing their presentation skills which all contribute to providing a dynamic specification. The depth and breadth of the content is designed to engage and inspire students through topics and issues that are relevant in today’s society. Business and Enterprise skills provide a fantastic progression pathway into a number of roles in an organisation and are transferable into all businesses. There are also strong opportunities for post-16 progression in this sector.
