When an enterprise supports an education programme, the central question is whether the learning objectives, selection process, curriculum, practical work and responsibilities form a coherent whole.
Key observations
- Define the participants and capability objectives before selecting courses or activities.
- Separate the responsibilities of the enterprise, institution, operator and learner in the programme documents.
- Evaluate learning outcomes, practical quality and progression rather than the number of activities alone.
How to use this material
This framework supports early discussions on targeted development, professional learning, short programmes and institution–enterprise collaboration. Current institutional, programme and formal records should still be checked before use.
