Cambridge IGCSE Enterprise encourages candidates to develop their understanding and the practical skills associated with the work environment and the running of a small enterprise. The syllabus provides
the knowledge associated with running a small enterprise, and an
opportunity for candidates to apply this knowledge in a practical and engaging way when running their own enterprise project or activity.
Students are encouraged to study enterprise in a local as well as a global context, while enhancing their skills of investigation, analysis, interpretation, evaluation and practical problem-solving.
Students have opportunities to meet with and talk to a range of people involved in enterprise.
These might include:
• people who have set up and run their own enterprise
•people involved in supporting enterprises, e.g. financiers, local business organisations,
government organisations
• people who have shown enterprising skills, e.g. innovators, inventors, marketing people etc.
As part of the project, the students planned to run the school canteen -'Bon Appetit' for a week in February 2013 to understand what it take to run a business enterprise.
