Enterprise Learning in Action Education and Economic Renewal for the Twenty-First Century

Both the world of education and the world of work are facing new challenges in the 1990s and the education and business communities are increasingly looking for ways to cooperate in preparing both young people already in the job market and those about to enter it for a new social and economic order. Drawing on case studies in community and enterprise learning from around the world, Dale Shuttleworth shows how young people can be taught the enterprise skills which will enable them to survive in an uncertain world - initiative, working with others, taking responsibility. He looks particularly at how this can be done outside the formal school system and within the community in ways which are responsive to the particular needs of each locality. Overall his message is one of great optimism for a future in which those who are at present rejected by the system can become active and valued contributors.Shuttleworth, Dale E. is the author of 'Enterprise Learning in Action Education and Economic Renewal for the Twenty-First Century' with ISBN 9780415068598 and ISBN 0415068592.
