| Teaching resources for financial capability within enterprise |
The resources listed below are suggested to help students to develop financial capability within enterprise education. The financial focus of the resources varies: some develop personal finance whilst others consider business finance or the financial skills and knowledge needed to set up a small business.
The resources are identified in 3 ways:
- some resources will contribute to a knowledge base through which the students will gain an understanding of enterprise, financial capability and the world of business;
- others will encourage the students to take an active part in developing their own enterprise skills and financial acumen;
- some of the resources will do both, providing a rich experience of both knowledge and practical activities.
If you are an organisation that publishes enterprise resources that include financial capability please let pfeg know. We are happy to review resources in terms of their financial capability content and, where possible, to include them on our listing of resources. Please contact us at anna.dening@pfeg.org or 020 7330 9487.
