FIRST is an accredited learning and development agency specialising in empowering enterprise skills for students, graduates, jobseekers, early stage founders and entry level staff. The Level 1 course in Understanding Enterprise is tailored for those looking to go into self- employment or to discover and develop enterprise skills to help with a new career opportunity. It covers themes that include identifying key enterprise skills, analysing and understanding risks associated with changing career or starting up business, and getting connected in the local business community.

The essential skills are embedded in our course delivery and resources, and are put into practice through individual tasks and group activities. The Skills Builder icons are displayed when referring to skills and are explicitly referred to throughout the content. Each session has a reflective task to link learners back to the skills for this impact level.
