The National Enterprise Academy

Peter Jones’ call on the Enterprise Campaign Coalition to help in the task of realising his vision for the National Enterprise Academy has been received with unanimous offers of support from its members.

The Coalition, which comprises 25 national organisations from education, the voluntary sector, business and government, met at the Institute of Directors, Pall Mall, London today.

Peter updated members on the progress to establish the National Enterprise Academy and explained the current focus was to forge links with and collaborate as widely as possible with any bodies involved in enterprise education and business support.

Peter said: “We are particularly keen on talking to employers of all sizes to ensure that any qualification offered by the National Enterprise Academy really meets skills needs.

“In time, we hope to work with employers so that the qualification can be delivered in the workplace, as well as through partnerships with other training partners and further education establishments.”

Peter added that any organisation within and beyond the coalition that is working in the same area as the National Enterprise Academy is welcome to make contact with the Project Team to find out more.
