Enabling Enterprise is a not-for-profit social enterprise which helps schools to hone their students’ core skills and aspirations by bringing enterprise into the classroom.
Like the year 5 students whose quest to develop the toy of the future ended with a visit to Hamleys presenting to senior staff. Or the year 9 group who launched their own magazine and experienced the world of media.
Our students take the lead on some incredible team projects and are introduced to the world of work through visits to top UK businesses.
Enabling Enterprise has won two national education awards and a social enterprise award. This year we are set to work with over 12,000 students nationwide with targets of 25,000 for next year.
Achieving our goals means expanding our team so we are always looking out for talented, enthusiastic people to join us.
