Structure
1. The enterprise curriculum
The enterprise curriculum is composed of 10 units each of which last approximately two weeks and focus on a different aspect of the enterprise cycle whilst building on previous learning. There is a guided timeframe for the completion of each unit, however it is flexible to enable students to progress at their own pace with the support of their job coach to ensure quality of learning. Skills and therapy approaches
are embedded within the content throughout each unit.
Running alongside each unit are 3 overlapping projects:
-
Project: Design

Project: Marketing

Project: Selling
Through these project students enhance their project management competence and draw on their learning from the enterprise, industry and personal and professional development curriculums to move their social enterprise forward.
