    Course Content

    This course takes an Opportunity-centred approach to enterprising behaviour (OCE). This distinctive approach to learning focuses students on the human behaviours used in thinking, learning, decision-making, working and managing in enterprising ways. Students will learn about and experience thinking and acting as enterprising individuals using real-world learning cases, through which they can develop the skills and confidence to recognize, create and act effectively on opportunities. These competencies are the basic building blocks for a future enterprising career.
