This week will see the biggest international enterprise conference happening in Scotland this year with delegates attending from all around the world to talk about their experiences in enterprise and to share with them the developments that are happening in Scotland with enterprise in education.
During the conference, delegates will hear from keynote speakers including the Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning, Fiona Hyslop and Lord Smith of Kelvin, Chair of The Weir Group and Scottish and Southern Energy and member of the First Minister’s Council of Economic Advisers. A number of workshops will be running over the three days which will include sessions on Scotland’s approach to enterprise in education through the Government’s Determined to Succeed strategy; the importance of partnerships between employers and schools; how working with employers is helping teachers to contextualise learning and make it more relevant to life beyond school; and how young people are being exposed to entrepreneurial learning and what affect it has on their future career choice.
Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning, Fiona Hyslop said:
“This Government is committed to doing everything it can to encourage our young people to reach their full potential – particularly in these challenging economic times. Education, skills and enterprise have a vital role to play in making sure that our young people are equipped to face the challenges posed by the recession – and that they are fully prepared to enter the world of work and business.
Determined to Succeed are hosting the conference from the 15 - 19th November in Edinburgh Scotland's wonderful capital city and have put together a programme that will prove to be of great interest to all of the delegates over the two days.
