Engaging with Enterprise Education

LEPs and local firms 'should engage with enterprise education'

(From the Business Advisers' News badnews@cobwebinfo.com )

Businesses should be encouraged through tax reliefs and other incentives to be more actively involved in enterprise and entrepreneurship education, a report by the All-Party Group for Micro Businesses has recommended. Other measures recommended in the report, 'An Education System Fit for an Entrepreneur', include requiring LEPs to have at least two board members who run a small or micro business, and requiring LEPs to demonstrate engagement with enterprise education, in order to qualify for Government funding, for example, through the Regional Growth Fund (RGF).
