Info

Regional Development Agency and Somerset County Council Economic Development Team have committed funds to help the college develop the ‘Hot House’ incubation units to support entrepreneurs in setting up small business and self-employed businesses. Ex SCAT students have been invited to take advantage of this low cost opportunity to set up a business. The facility is also open to all members of the local community 9. What would you like to see developed further More staff development for the module teachers. More commitment from module teachers to attend training and to attend workshop days. Choosing appropriate staff to act as module leaders. Other colleges following our lead and introducing the Enterprise module into their FdA qualifications. 10. Any recommendations Review the timing of the module: more suitable in the second year of FdA programmes than in the first year. Curriculum development so that three year degree programmes also include an Enterprise module. Programme leaders have been asked for their views on this SPS: happy for an optional module to be available in their top up degree programme SI : feel the topic is already covered in the Business Admin degree, so not keen on the idea A&D : concerned about having time to fit in another 20 credit module, and not keen to replace an existing module with it. Bring in people who have been successful as entrepreneurs in to speak to current students. 11. Anything more to add As ‘enterprise’ is so difficult to define, is it the best word to use in the module title Enterprise summer school proved very popular for school pupils in 2006 Are we prepared for pupils coming from schools where enterprise has been part of the curriculum to take the pupils further Can we embed enterprise education on our FE programmes 35

The two courses in the sample are FdA Fine Arts and FdA Graphic Design. I would like to invite a small group of second year students to take part in this study. If you choose to participate, this is what would be involved: 1. Keeping a log of your experiences relating to the Enterprise module from January to June 2007 2. Taking part in focus groups to discuss your responses to this module The project has a small budget to cover expenses. If you are interested to be involved, please attend a meeting to discuss this in more detail on Tuesday 16 th January at 14.00. I shall confirm the venue at the start of term. If you are interested, but not able to attend this meeting, please e mail me. The e mail address is Fay.Linacre@somerset.ac.uk Yours sincerely, Fay Linacre 36
