Enterprise Skills and Commercial Awareness

 

Enterprise skills and commercial awareness (also know as business awareness) are personal attributes and knowledge frequently regarded as essential to the success of their business or organisation but an area that graduates are lacking.

 

These attributes generally fall into 2 areas:

  • a knowledge of the job / occupation (inc. self-employment) and an understanding of what skills and knowledge are needed to be successful in this role and;
  • an understanding of the business environment (inc. both multi-nationals and new business start-ups) and how they are influenced by both internal and external issues


There are many ways to gain these skills and awareness:

  • networking (see 'Finding out about careers' section)
  • work experience (see 'Work Experience' section of the website)
  • formal and informal programmes of study
