Appendix 6 Press release Determined to Succeed has spearheaded enterprising approaches to learning and teaching in support of Curriculum for Excellence, engaging teachers and learners in developing an enthusiasm for and an understanding of the world of work in partnership with employers and informing career choices which embrace the concept of entrepreneurialism. Determined to Succeed remains a strategy to develop the enterprise and employability of our young people, better preparing them for work and life in a globalised society. It does this by embedding enterprise in education across and within the curriculum and ethos in every school in Scotland. It stresses the importance of engaging with employers to set learning in context and give it greater relevance to the world beyond school. Enterprising approaches to learning and teaching are helping our young people become successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors. A Celebration of Scotland’s Enterprising Young People A Celebration of Scotland’s Enterprising 2009 begins on 1st November and culminates on St. Andrews Day on 30th November. During this time the Determined to Succeed team will be hosting national events and supporting external events which will focus on the themes of science, technology, communications, global entrepreneurship and Scotland’s past culture and heritage. As this is the year of Homecoming all events will incorporate this and schools are encouraged to host their own events to celebrate their enterprising young people.
