In the last 3 years, EiA has provided programmes to thousands of school
pupils, college students and unemployed adults across the UK. Our
programmes are highly endorsed by all those involved - students,
teachers, businesses, public sector and funding bodies.
The Specialist Schools Trust funded an innovative project idea developed by EiA to take a group of inner citystudents to Cambridge University over the Easter holidays for a residential
entrepreneurial camp.
EiA was funded to deliver an innovative 3 term project working with a combined group of students from year 9 and 10 over 3 terms from Stockwell Park School. The highlight of the programme was the successful funding of all 5 groups who presented their business ideas to panel of independent professionals from an accountant, to head of Enterprise at Government Office for London.
EiA was one of 22 successful bids of 440 applications for their innovative entrepreneurial programme. There has been increasing concern and focus by both government and local authorities about effective engagement strategies of young people from the NEET (Not in Education Employment Training) group. Ending Exclusion Through Entrepreneurship was an EiA developed programme which engaged a group of young people from the Southwark area over 12 weeks.
EiA is the lead party in coordinating the business challenge support of this project . EiA was responsible for developing, compiling and submitting the bid to the Department of Education and Skills, making it the biggest pathfinder project in Britain .
