Enterprise Training
More than 500 staff members at
Doncaster College have undertaken a qualification to make them more
enterprising.
Staff have taken the NCFE Award in
Enterprising Capabilities which encourages staff to take on the
role of Enterprising Tutors urging learners to develop a more
innovative approach to their work.
The programme will help staff Identify and
encourage entrepreneurial skills, attributes and behaviour and
signpost students to appropriate support. The first sets of
certificates were handed out on Friday, February 13 at the
College’s Hub campus.
In 2008, the College launched its Enterprise
College project in association with Doncaster Council’s Success
Doncaster scheme.
Enterprise College Project Manager Jayne
Robinson said: “It’s great to see so many of our staff members
achieving this qualification and embracing the ethos of Enterprise.
Some new and exciting ideas have come out of
this training which will make the College a more enterprising place
to work and a more innovative place for the students to learn.
It is essential that the College engages with
the staff to supply a base-line, and define collaboration across
College of: ‘What Enterprise Is’”
More than a hundred staff are still due to take the course in
the coming weeks and further mini-awards ceremonies will be carried
out soon.

Please find below further dates for the Mandatory
Enterprise Training CPD. As you are aware every member of
staff is required to undertake this training and many have already
done so. This is an excellent opportunity to develop and further
skills to enhance CPD whilst learning more about Enterprise College
Doncaster.
We appreciate that the timings for the training is sometimes
problematic, therefore providing the following dates whilst fewer
students are on campus may give staff another opportunity to
attend. If there are sessions you cannot attend as you are not in
work on those days, please contact Carlene Farmer who will try to
accommodate your requirements.
