University of Sheffield Enterprise Academy: Empowering and
Enabling You to Develop Your Students' Enterprise Learning
Christina Elliott, Anna Nibbs, Dr Alison
Riley, Gary Wood (University of Sheffield Enterprise Academy)
What
is this about?
Enterprise at The University of
Sheffield is about having ideas and doing something about them. It is making
ideas happen.
An enterprising curriculum helps students to become creative problem-solvers, apply their subject-specific knowledge to real life situations, and develop the skills and capabilities needed to manage limited resources under uncertain conditions. This translates into a richer learning experience and an improvement in students’ confidence and employability.
The University is committed to the vision that every student has the opportunity to engage with enterprise. In order for this to happen, University of Sheffield Enterprise Academy (USEA) works to empower any academic or teacher at The University of Sheffield to become an enterprise educator, through a comprehensive programme of continued professional development opportunities, resources and tailored support. Using this approach, the University can potentially provide every single one of its 26,000 students with a contextualised enterprise learning experience within their taught course.

How
will colleagues benefit?
This display will raise awareness of
enterprise education, its benefits and practical application, showcasing
inspiring and diverse examples of existing good practice within the University,
and highlighting the wealth of support available to academic and teaching
staff.
Colleagues will have the chance to talk to USEA’s Enterprise Learning Development Officers (ELDOs), share and discuss ideas, interests and concerns, and find out more about the University’s 2012-16 Enterprise Education Mission, Vision and Strategy, USE’s Enterprise Capabilities Mapping Exercise, and the many ways in which USEA can support academic staff in embedding and contextualising enterprise capabilities within the context of their own academic subject curricula.
Colleagues will also have the opportunity, there and then, to book follow-up appointments with ELDOs for a more in-depth chat.
