Enabling UK Enterprise Consultation Events
The Learning, Skills and Support Agenda.
Towards a strategy for delivering high quality enterprise learning and support and accrediting learner achievement
Each year SFEDI produces new research to inform standards development. This year funded by the UK Commission for Employment and Skills (formerly SSDA) we have researched the skill needs and preferences of over 2600 small business owners throughout the UK and in all sectors. We have also held focus groups and developed case studies to highlight best practice in learning and support from enterprising networks and communities.
We now need to consult with enterprise policy makers, policy implementers, practitioners and entrepreneurs to turn this research and 13 years of evidence of good practice into an enterprise learning, support and accreditation strategy for the UK.
Each workshop will cover 5 themes
After overview presentations of the research findings and possible implications, delegates will work in small groups to explore and make recommendations building on SFEDI initial proposals on the following areas:
Segmenting
the enterprise skills and support ‘market’ particularly at start up.
Improving stakeholder understanding of the skills and know how needs and learning preferences of prospective and existing small and home business owners
Funding enterprise learning and support particularly preparing for enterprise, during start up and through the first year of trading.
Accrediting enterprise learning and support
Building an effective enterprise training and support community with high quality client interventions.
