A key focus of this group will be the promotion of The Big 13 - 13 enterprise entitlements devised to cover the spectrum of entrepreneurial skills through the curriculum that were developed with partners in Rotherham. The Big 13 are a range of enterprise skills and capabilities that are utilised during, and the outcome of, good quality enterprise learning.  They were devised through the award winning enterprise education programme, Rotherham Ready, which now operates nationally as a not-for-profit social enterprise Ready Unlimited.  A key part of the Ready Unlimited approach is to make learning about and applying enterprise capabilities part of children’s enterprise learning entitlement.

The City Plan

Hull faces some big issues and challenges – but now has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to regain its status as a dynamic and thriving European port-city.

The developing City Plan is about tackling these issues and seizing this opportunity. It’s about bringing the whole of Hull together to set out -

• a clear goal and ambitions for the city over the next 10 years
• what needs to happen, when it will be delivered and who’s involved
• how the lives and opportunities of local people will be improved as the plan is delivered
• what it will mean for the city as a whole and wider region.

Why we need it?

Hull is a great city, and the quality of life in the city continues to improve. 

But there is still a long way to go – the welfare bill in Hull costs the government over £800m.The city has the highest job seeker allowance level in the country and just to match average levels, over 7,500 more people would have to be in work. 

Being at the heart of the Hull and Humber City Deal (Energy Estuary) will help it to work more closely with government to unlock improvements.  But, like all cities now, we need to have a single, distinct story for Hull itself, which accelerates that improvement in people’s lives, creates a sustainable future, and defines Hull’s unique position in England.

This group will help to create an enterprising ethos and culture, enabling students to develop key skills for their future economic well-being. We are proud to support The City Plan and the work of Hull City Council.
