Enterprise For All: The Relevance Of Enterprise In Education

The purpose of this DfE review by Lord Young is to engage those involved in education and training, careers advice and adult learning, and to make recommendations on how to inspire and support more people to succeed in enterprise activity and employment.

This includes business champions such as business representative bodies and the Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) that have a key role to play in creating closer links between education and the world of work and business.
