It is easy to spot the candidate who has cut and pasted CASE STUDY – BARNSLEY COLLEGE


Spread across numerous campuses and with around 9,000 further and higher education students, Barnsley College was rated outstanding in its last inspection in 2010. In the academic year 2012-13, the college decided to


make its approach to enterprise a strategic priority. The college invested in a new enterprise department


which, in three years, has grown significantly from engaging with a few hundred students, to now engaging with half the student population every year. The college reports that having a dedicated team makes


a huge dierence. Enterprise and entrepreneurship is delivered through an enterprise programme which details all the activity, initiatives and opportunities available in the college. The programme oers enterprise support across the


college, and some elements are embedded in courses such as hair and beauty. Retailers, such as ASOS, provide mentoring and funding for start-ups. Like other enterprising colleges, Barnsley makes the


most of Global Entrepreneurship eek. Last year the college erected a dome in which students


did workshops and sessions, held a market stall event and heard inspirational speakers. Participants reported that just having the dome highlighted the fact that not all learning takes place in the classroom. The college’s iTrust venture, run in conjunction with the Barnsley Chronicle, has supported over 30 businesses, some of which are now contributing and making an impact to the local economy. iTrust supports students and alumni with grant funding, support from mentors and advice to develop new or existing business ideas. More information on the iTrust initiative is available at goo.gl/RCkCu3
