December 2010 Edition

Welcome to the latest edition of EnterpriseUpfront, your bi-monthly e-zine for current developments in enterprise, bringing you the latest news, views and research.

December marks the launch of the new look EnterpriseUpfront. We've taken the time to make the site much more user friendly and we think it looks great too - let us know what you think in our comments section.

This month we take a look back at Global Entrepreneurship Week 2010 and the high impact the week is having year on year. We gain a further insight into The Government's plans to integrate skills acquisition with the nations plan to boost the economy and we find out all about the enterprise hub that is Britain's local market place.

We learn about an exciting opportunity that introduces a real working enterprise to schools to be run by students to help them to develop entrepreneurial skills in a supported environment and we find out how higher education institutions in the North West of England are introducing students to Enterprise Champions to encourage them  to consider entrepreneurialism and enterprise. We also take a closer look at the role of Enterprise following the formation of Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) across the country as NFEA question who will put the 'E' into LEPs.
