Recognition and reward

Recognition and reward mechanisms

IEEC once again highlights the need for improved recognition and reward mechanisms for educators and champions of enterprise and entrepreneurship education. Enterprise Educators UK and the National Council for Graduate Entrepreneurship recognised and responded to this shortfall in 2008 by establishing national educator awards and were pleased to recognise no less than 31 shortlisted candidates in their ‘National Entrepreneurship Educator Award’ presentations at the event’s Gala dinner (See: http://enterprise-educators-awards.ncge.com). However it is clear that institutionally, career progression and promotion opportunities are limited for those who deliver on this agenda and the conference feedback, once again tells us that we play a key role in empowering and giving confidence to educators to operate effectively in their home institutions.
