Abstract
To be successful in today’s ever changing turbulent
environment businesses
require highly skilled personnel. Enterprise skills or personal transferable skills
are those competencies which enable and assist students to be successful not only
throughout their student career but also in their subsequent personal and professional
work lives. Today’s student needs to be able to translate theory into practice - not
just “know how to” but to actually perform . This requires not only academic
training but also life skills training. Industry, Business and Commerce are
interested in the development of personal transferable skills and recognise the key
role that higher education plays in this process.
