6. Enterprise Education in HE
Increase in enterprise education offerings over the last ten years in response to a number of drivers
Two approaches to enterprise education can be identified:
The study of enterprise and entrepreneurship (learning ‘about’) - enhancing understanding of enterprise and entrepreneurship through reflection on knowledge and theory
Learning how to do or be enterprising and entrepreneurial (learning ‘for’) - developing the mindset and capabilities required to be enterprising and entrepreneurial

8. Enterprise Education in HE
The delivery of the desired entrepreneurial outcomes challenges HEIs and educators to review and reflect on what needs to be taught and learnt and how the appropriate learning environments and approaches can be created. Such practices should be clearly aligned with existing goals, outcomes and assessment processes (Herrmann et al., 2008, p. 29)
