Our aim is to organise and deliver an effective and well balanced programme: -

Your Programme Manager will work closely with the nominated school contact to agree all aspects of the programme – specific content, session times, timetable for the day, resource requirements, provision of reports and certificates etc.

The benefits of the programmes are not just the outcomes for individual students. The programme itself is evidence of the opportunity, experience and learning provided, and our post programme report normally includes analysis of student benefits, along with comments from students, teachers and leaders.

The content of business horizons programmes can be used to evidence achievement in areas of Work Related Learning and Enterprise Education.

Our programmes can provide elements of provision in the following areas: -

Work Related Learning: -

1. Recognise, develop and apply skills for enterprise and employability

4. Relate their own abilities, attributes and achievements to career intentions and make informed choices based on an understanding of the alternatives.

5. Undertake tasks and activities set in work contexts

6. Learn from contact with personnel from different sectors

7. Have direct or indirect experience of working practices and environments

8. Engage with ideas, challenges and applications from the business world

Enterprise Education: -

Elements of Enterprise Education

Skills: such as decision-making, problem solving, presentation skills, the ability to learn from mistakes, action planning, working with others, leadership, negotiation etc

From pre and post programme we re able to provide quantitative and qualitative evidence of progress and learning. This information would normally be included in the Programme Report provided to the school. We also make available Certificate Templates enabling the school to provide individual student evidence of participation and achievement.
