The NCFE Level 1/2 Technical Award in Business and Enterprise is a comprehensive program designed to equip pupils with essential knowledge and skills in the field of business and entrepreneurship. This award offers a practical and theoretical understanding of key business concepts, such as marketing, finance, operations, and customer service. Pupils will learn how to analyse business opportunities, develop business plans, and effectively communicate their ideas. Through interactive activities and real-life case studies, learners will gain practical insights into the world of business, preparing them for future career success in the dynamic and competitive business environment.

Throughout KS3 and KS4, pupils engage in a variety of enterprise tasks to enhance their skills, aligned with the Gatsby benchmarks. These activities foster their understanding of the world of work and develop their employability skills. Through enterprise projects, pupils are encouraged to think creatively, problem-solve, and work collaboratively. They may undertake tasks like designing and marketing a product or creating a business plan for their own small business. These initiatives expose pupils to real-life scenarios, allowing them to develop communication, teamwork, and leadership skills. Additionally, they learn about financial literacy, budgeting, and evaluating risks. Such experiences lay a strong foundation for their future career aspirations and prepare them for the ever-changing world of work.
