The Government's plan to kick-start the economy through enterprise and innovation will move a step closer to success, after a national one-day conference, which has been set up to explore where Post-16 student enterprise and entrepreneurialism is encouraged, supported and championed. The conference is intended to illuminate contemporary best practice in order to inform, enhance and promote the development of enterprise and entrepreneurship education amongst education providers in the UK.
The conference, which is being held at the Birmingham Hippodrome in September, will be highly welcomed by the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, Vince Cable, who in 2010 announced his plan to turn this decade into 'the most entrepreneurial and dynamic in history.' One of the conference's high-profile speakers, Doug Richard, founder of School for Startups and founding Dragon on BBC's Dragons' Den, says: "Small businesses are the proven wealth and job creators, but the challenges facing entrepreneurship are the same worldwide. What is needed everywhere is a culture in which entrepreneurship can take root. I believe that entrepreneurship can be taught and must be learned, and I will be exploring a number of themes that improve survival for young businesses and encourage entrepreneurship in very different environments."
The delegates will meet leading organisations, which promote commercial development in the UK and attend workshops to explore the use of social media in teaching, learning business start-up in enterprise and also entrepreneurial education.
Organiser, Jon Collis, Director at National Training Resources Ltd, said: "Small business growth is one of the few reliable routes to recovery from the current economic crisis. "Education and encouragement of young entrepreneurs will stimulate creation of new businesses and growth of others in ways that not only reduce youth unemployment but create growth in other associated suppliers and services." The NTRL 2012 Entrepreneurship & Enterprise Conference will attract interest from senior leaders, lecturers, public sector agencies and enterprise directors - all of which have a direct involvement in further education, higher education and the private training sector. David Frost CBE, Executive Chairman at the National Centre for Entrepreneurship in Education (NCGE) and Chairman of Local Enterprise Partnership - National Network will chair the conference and Joanna Hill, Head of Enterprise Culture & Education from the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) is attending the conference on behalf of the government, for their involvement in enterprise policy and strategy.
