This program focuses on enterprise and developing business plans. It brings the topic of enterprise and entrepreneurs to life by bringing entrepreneurs into the classroom. They talk about their motives, experiences and when they had their "Eureka" moment. Entrepreneurs, advisors and government agencies give an insight into the purpose and contents of business plans as well as their views on their importance (or otherwise!). This is a great way to introduce students to a range of entrepreneurs, from the inventor who is just getting started to those who have already made their mark. The video is divided into four bite-sized segments: Motives and Traits of Entrepreneurs, Risks and Rewards, Developing Business Plans, and Sources of Support and Guidance.
