College Enterprise

Enterprise at Oakfield encompasses a range of young person led learning. A key focus of Enterprise is giving learners the autonomy and agency in their own learning.  As part of the Enterprise curriculum; learners engage with an array of key skills and qualities which prepare our learners to be young adults in the wider community; learning the skills they need for further learning and life.

Skills include;

• Independence
• Team work
• Communication and interaction skills
• Customer relations
• Budgeting and money management
• Time management including meeting deadlines
• Following instructions and giving instructions

Learners work with others in their Enterprise team to develop a business plan. Learners develop the business from designing a product, identifying key roles and responsibilities, through to the production and selling of their chosen product. College learners stated that;

‘Enterprise lets me see what it would be like to work in a creative industry’ Year 14 learner.

‘The teachers let us make our own mistakes so we can learn from them’ Year 12 learner.
