Welcome

Knowsley Enterprise Academy

..to Knowsley Enterprise Academy

Knowsley Enterprise Academy (KEA) is the first purpose built Youth Enterprise Academy in the UK.  It was established in 2003 by Knowsley Development Trust and was formerly opened in 2005 by HRH Duke of Kent.

The aim of the Academy is to create a culture of enterprise throughout Knowsley by working with 11 – 25 year olds and local businesses in the borough.

Young people who attend the Academy can engage in a range of fun, exciting Enterprise programmes and activities to build up their teamworking, communication, problem solving and employability skills.  Some of the programmes that have been run by the Academy are:

  • Work Based Learning Enterprise Programmes
  • ICT Enterprise Programmes
  • Teamwork and Communication Enterprise Programmes

Hopefully, in a few years’ time the Academy will see some of its past students running their own businesses or organizations and they will be able to take new students there for visits.

 

 

At Knowsley Enterprise Academy, we believe that it is important to get feedback from those involved in the courses we are delivering. This includes the students, teaching staff and parents/guardians of the young people that attend.

We evaluate every course and invite parents, students and teachers to give their feedback and suggestions they may have for future courses.

“Since I have been going to Knowsley Enterprise Academy, I have learned many skills such as teamwork, leadership and problem solving. I know how to act and behave in the work place.”
