The University of Sheffield has been named the UK's top enterprise educator for its pioneering work to empower academics with the skills needed to ensure their students become innovative and enterprising graduates. The University of Sheffield Enterprise Academy (USEA), which was set up to support the University's commitment to ensuring all 25,000 students have the opportunity to embrace enterprise education as part of their degrees, won Enterprise Educator of the Year at the National Enterprise Education Awards last night (Thursday 4 September 2014). Two years ago, the University announced its ambitious aim of transforming the curriculum across all disciplines to further enhance students' learning experience and boost their confidence and employability by integrating enterprise education. To achieve this, the USEA was set up to provide staff with consistent and sustainable support through a centralised, accessible and recognisable hub, offering one-to-one support for those wanting to implement curriculum development projects in enterprise education, providing staff with opportunities to learn and develop innovate teaching methods and giving a wealth of free resources and financial support to implement their plans. The National Enterprise Educator Awards recognise excellence within enterprise education and aim to reward and celebrate those who have demonstrated an exceptional and inspirational commitment to supporting student and graduate entrepreneurship in Further and Higher Education in the UK.
