2 March 2007 - Strathclyde University
Making the Links was the theme of this year's National Enterprise in Education Conference held at Strathclyde University. Learning and Teaching Scotland's presentation 'Working in Partnership' gave over 190 delegates an insight into its comprehensive enterprise support. The presentation also reflected on progress achieved over the past year and the initiatives being put in place to support the continued drive to further the Determined to Succeed agenda in Scottish schools.
Workshops
The workshops aimed to show educational practitioners how an enterprise in education learning and teaching pedagogy could support a variety of cross-cutting themes and the group considered National Construction Week as the focus for this. A variety of examples and templates were given to those attending to enable them to develop a CPD model for their school, working through the same process.

1 March 2007 - The Lighthouse, Glasgow
For young people, learning about the built environment can be a rich and inspiring experience; it is an opportunity to explore, learn from and appreciate Scotland’s past; it can equip those involved with the skills to engage in the current debate on architecture; and it can raise aspirations, equipping young people with the skills and knowledge to preserve, design and construct for the future.
Eric Burton's presentation, 'Curriculum Review: Skills for Work', highlighted the changes that have occurred within Scottish education, focusing on the new Skills for Work programme and how, through Determined to Succeed, the vocational training of pupils in construction crafts is being addressed.
