This unit uses a range of business and enterprise activities to enable pupils to gain practical experience of how the local economy works. Pupils explore the range of business activities in their local area and consider the importance of these businesses to the local economy. They have the opportunity to work in groups and contribute to group decision-making activities.
Some of the team-based activities in this unit involve local education business links, organisations and employers. These could be arranged for a class or a whole year group. Work experience can also be used as an opportunity for pupils to conduct part of their research.
In the final section of the unit, pupils investigate the challenges and issues for local businesses. If town centre management or development issues are used, it may be helpful to liaise with the geography department.
