Welcome To Enterprising Inverclyde!

Welcome to ‘Enterprising Inverclyde’ the official Schools Enterprise Website. I am delighted to share with you some of the many inspiring projects and developments in relation to Enterprise Education across Inverclyde.

Determined to Succeed (DTS) has enabled our local Authority to access funding to develop Enterprise Education from Primary one all the way through to Secondary six.

You may well be asking yourself, What is Enterprise Education? In simple terms it is a culture that we are embedding in all stages of our schools and curriculum to create and develop ‘can do, will do’ attitudes in all young people. We strongly believe that every child has potential, DTS will help identify and nurture this potential and motivate all young people to maximise their full potential and play a vital role in our ever-changing society.

Many of the interventions over the last two years were primarily introduced to raise self- esteem, encourage teamwork and creative thinking, introduce young people to the business world and explore their future role in it. Over 130 school projects have been funded via DTS over the last 18 months or so and are having a tremendous impact on school curriculum already, however, we must not rest on this short term success, we must continue to develop an exciting and innovative curriculum for all our young in our schools to ensure they are “Determined to Succeed”.

I hope you enjoy visiting our website and encourage you to support Enterprise Education development across Inverclyde.

Together we will make a difference.
