Introduction
"Regardless of how busy I am, I will continue to do LEEP because I can see the benefits for students, for teachers and for businesses".
Rachel McGann, Executive Teacher, Calwell High School, ACT
Leading Enterprise Education Partnerships (LEEP) is an innovative approach to building sustainable partnerships between business and education. It involves local business leaders working in partnership with principals and teachers to:
- enhance the development of an enterprising culture within the school and community
- produce models for effective and sustainable local partnerships focused on enterprise.
Ultimately, your partnership will support young people to build their enterprise skills, think creatively and reach their potential.
Enterprise Learning for the 21st Century
The Australian Government's Department for Education Science and Training (DEST) made it a priority to invest in enterprise learning for young people by launching the Enterprise Learning for the 21st Century initiative (EL21). Australian Business Week created LEEP, which is currently funded under this initiative.
Who is it for?
LEEP is for leaders and representatives from schools, businesses and organisations who aim to develop an enterprising culture within the school and local community.
