What Educators Have to Say
Feedback from teachers, heads, and education professionals
"The business simulation from Enterprise Skills delivers powerfully realistic and engaging scenarios. Working together to problem solve in a fast-paced and competitive environment makes this an ideal alternative to academic case studies for business and economics studies. It also serves as a personal development tool for building essential skills in any student. We will be looking to extend this across our Harris Sixth Forms."

Harris Sixth Forms
"Business teachers are really in need of a simulation like the one offered by Enterprise Skills Ltd. We all know that both vocational and academic Business & Economics qualifications set their highest grades against the students' ability to apply, analyse and evaluate business knowledge. Business and Economics teachers now have an alternative to case studies and over reliance on past papers; the solution lives in this extremely captivating and well-designed simulation software. I recommend it."

"It was fantastic to hear our young people competing to ensure they had the right marketing, the right customer feedback and the right profit margins to make the company successful. Students were very enthusiastic about this form of delivery and valued the real time updates on company performances. This is something we will definitely run again at our college."

"The Enterprise Skills simulation captivated our students from the start, sparking their creativity and problem-solving abilities as they worked to balance key business elements such as profit, customer, and employee satisfaction. The simulation's rich data and focus on iterative learning makes it an ideal tool for schools like Godolphin looking to help students develop real-world skills and mindsets."

Godolphin & Latymer School
"I just wanted to say a big thank you on behalf of the Grocers and our schools, Oundle, Mossbourne Community Academy, Kingsley Academy and Chelsea Academy for the most brilliant educational day last Friday. The students were buzzing. They told me they would never have thought they would have access to something like this. They learnt so much."

What Careers Leads Say
Perspectives from careers professionals on workplace readiness
"I always tell the kids this: grades open the door ajar, to go through it you need to stand out with your ability to hold a conversation, show people you're interested and interesting, you can problem solve, think creatively, and demonstrate how you would be a good fit for the company. Grades help, but they're only a starting point to positive meaningful employment."Careers & Aspirations Leader Colton Hills Community School
"Grades just open doors, skills and aptitude move you onwards."Careers Leader Milton Keynes College
"I agree that grades alone don't tell the full story about workplace readiness and whilst they are still the only currency that pleases many recruitment bots, real talent, aptitude and work ready attitude are all too often sidelined."Careers Advisor and Careers Leader Sapientia Education Trust
"Organisations such as the ISE, WonkHE, etc point to a trend that, increasingly, employers are keen to determine not 'what did you study', but rather, 'what can you do?' The portfolio of evidenced skills, knowledge, abilities, including future-proofing such as AI skills, all play a part."Senior Careers & Enterprise Developer University of the West of England
"Workplace readiness is important. If a student has never worked before then they don't know what to expect in the workplace. I agree that grades don't tell a full story."Careers Professional Scottish Higher Education
"Measuring workplace readiness is absolutely necessary alongside grades."Founder Finnesse Careers & Empowerment C.I.C
What Employers Say
Industry perspectives on workplace readiness and hiring
"I'd find this infinitely more valuable than seeing someone's GCSE or A Level results. While we're not frequently hiring at the moment, we do take on an intern from Boston University every spring. I'd love it if they had one of these before joining us."Johnny Manning Mannings Tutors
"We employ a reasonable number of school/college leavers, apprentices as well as University graduates annually. We have seen first hand the vastly different range of workplace readiness there is in this age group and we would LOVE to see a qualified evaluation of this."Matthew Hayes Champions
"Having something tangible such as the Workplace Readiness Score to assist with the interview process, to differentiate between candidates and to provide a measure of work preparedness would be extremely valuable. This would sit alongside formal qualifications and be a perfect decision support tool for employers."John Barber ex Bloomberg, Finance
"In the hospitality and leisure sectors workplace literacy would be a more accurate predictor of success in a role than the pure academic measurement of exam grades."Matthew Barnwell IHS Solutions
"Getting a real sense of young employees' ability to hit the ground running, and their training needs, is critical. The Workplace Readiness Score is a valuable input."Pablo Lloyd OBE Education/Tutoring
"We only operate in the technical sector, STEM basically. I can see your workplace readiness certificate to be a valuable indicator as to the mindset of the young person entering the workplace. It shows that the individual is invested in their career and future."Neil Fullbrook Cadence PR
