Engage with Business is deeply involved with and passionate
about the development of Enterprise projects in schools.
Entrepreneurship and the world of business is something
that students need to learn about in School, rather
than discover when they leave.
Over the past five years we have worked with The Norfolk
Education Business Exchange and directly with several
High schools and Primary schools in Norfolk to achieve
some interesting results.
Since it became a statutory requirement to introduce
Enterprise in Schools as part of work related learning,
we have provided consultancy to schools to help them
develop an enterprise culture.
We have recently completed the delivery of a project
with the School’s Enterprise Education Network
(SEEN). The purpose of this network is to enable future
progress to deepen and widen the impact on schools
and pupils of enterprise education, and to ensure
long-term sustainability. …… To read press

In October 2006 our Managing Director Kate Wilde was
nominated for a ‘Business Adviser of the Year’
award from the Institute of Business Advisers. The
nomination was originally for the specialist adviser
category for her work in developing enterprise in
schools. However, the judges felt that Kate had identified
and contributed to an important new market and so
decided to present a special award for ‘innovative
use of advisory skills’.
