Enterprising Approaches to VET

Paul has been a teacher and program manager in Australia and the United Kingdom. His work in enterprise education is known internationally for its innovative, educative and socially responsible nature. He has a keen interest in learner- managed experiential learning, especially the learning through enterprise approach.

He believes that education should be bold, imaginative and transforming. Paul has worked in Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Sri Lanka and Ireland. In 1998 he researched a number of vocational initiatives in the United States. Details of his current role and recent consultancies are available as further background.
