National Centre for Entrepreneurship in Education

1. National Centre for Entrepreneurship in Education CREATING ENTREPRENEURS AND ENTERPRISING INSTITUTIONS

2. Overview • The National Centre for Entrepreneurship in Education (NCEE) is an international leader in entrepreneurship education, training, resources and support. • The NCEE was originally established in 2004, as the National Council for Graduate Entrepreneurship (NCGE), to 'raise the profile of entrepreneurship and enterprise' within educational institutions and the wider economy, to support economic development and social change.

3. We aim to • Support and inspire people and institutions to improve their enterprising capability. • Create better conditions for long term sustainable entrepreneurship, in the UK and internationally, • Work collaboratively with a wide range of partners including national and international Higher and Further Education Institutions, businesses, business support organisations, policy makers.

8. The Changing Context • Move from 8 Regional Development Agencies (plus London) to 39 Local Enterprise Partnerships • European Structural Funds (European Social Fund and European Regional Development Fund) • Increasing stress on social enterprise • Increasing codification - QAA Guidelines • Student funding changes – consequent (?) increasing stress on employability • Increasing competition between institutions • Recognition of the need of coherence in the learner journey from primary to higher education • BUT a more fragmented system (I would argue)

19. NCEE – Witty Recommendations • Student/graduate start up support within the 2014/20120 European Structural Fund Programme should be organised on a pan-LEP basis. NCEE would be willing to take a lead on discussions with LEPs and other interested parties on how such a programme might be developed and implemented. • In the 2014/2020 European Structural Fund Programme a coherent student/graduate start up support and enterprise talent development programme should be established funded by both ESF and ERDF. Again NCEE would be willing to take a lead in discussions on such a programme with LEPs, the managing authorities and relevant partners. • NCEE should be asked to develop further initiatives, such as University Enterprise Networks, that involve a partnership approach to enterprise development in conjunction with relevant LEPs, the LEP Network and BIS. • NCEE should be asked to develop further initiatives, such as University Enterprise Networks, that involve a partnership approach to enterprise development in conjunction with relevant LEPs, the LEP Network and BIS.
