This project aims at initially identifying programmes currently operating successfully throughout New Zealand, analysing the ‘best practise’ components of these programmes and developing a specifically tailored pilot programme to meet the acknowledged goals.
This project will concentrate on creating professional development relations within UNITEC and College of Education (Christchurch) for pre-service and post-service enterprise capability development. This will be co-ordinated by Enterprise Northland but will have a National focus by enlisting a group of regional representatives within the teaching profession who have the ability to lead regions in Teacher enterprise development both pre and post service. The MOE will be a partner in this project with input from key professional development leaders within Christchurch College of Education and UNITEC.
This project will be operated in cojunction with MoE who are contributing $10,000 to the project. The project will create cross curricular enterprise resources for secondary teachers. This involves the eight curricular learning areas from level 5 to 8 and will involve creating a group of cross curricular secondary teachers, nationally, to write, trial and coordinate the resources which will be available on the MOE TKI website and on a DVD/CD.
Stage two of the project will be a further resource which profiles how schools can create an enterprise culture through a project based, cross curricular approach, incorporating how schools strategically approach becoming an enterprise school.
SIFE will establish the “SIFE Entrepreneurial Enterprise Program” that will provide student teams from tertiary institutions throughout New Zealand with the opportunity to apply for a $2,000 grant (per annum) that will be used to develop community-based projects specifically focussed on improving entrepreneurial activity through teaching enterprise skills to all participants.
The Small Business Game is an exciting and informative online business game for high school students. The premise behind the game is to try and make learning the by-product of a fun activity tailored to appeal to the high school age group. The game will be part of a nationwide competition in which every school will be able to participate.

This project will combine the Young Entrepreneur Programme (YEP), which is based on developing an entrepreneurial approach and an enterprising spirit with school students, with the Northland Enterprising Teachers project (NET). NET aims to provide school-based and practical professional development for the teachers who work with these students but who frequently lack the skills in their own experience. Further, the NET aims to assist schools to develop project partnerships with their community to enhance the relevancy of the curriculum and to therefore “Close the Enterprise Circle.”
• Both the YEP and the NET have proven to be highly successful, and have placed Northland at the leading edge of Education for Enterprise within New Zealand. These projects now include 20 of Northland’s 22 schools.

Stage One of this project was completed in August 2005, and at this point participants will have a thorough understanding of the key components of business planning and how this applies to their chosen enterprise. The group has been trained and facilitated in the identification of their own business projects and its strategic planning requirements via planning sessions. The next steps required to further develop their project as a group, to provide the support structures, scale of economy and sustainability required to promote success will be the subject of the roll over programme.
