Crynodeb

The Enterprise College Wales (ECW) programme currently consists of an on-line Web based degree in Enterprise, aimed at creating business start-ups, new business ideas and business development and growth. This paper examines the role of ECW in promoting entrepreneurship and development in areas of Wales and examines its relevance compared to the problems faced by small construction firms in the region. The paper briefly outlines the history of the project and the role that education plays in promoting entrepreneurship in the region. It has been documented that small construction firms can benefit from programmes aimed at increasing their awareness of business management, marketing, financial management and ICT. The programme can provide this opportunity both flexibly and supportively. It is concluded that the ECW programme may provide tangible opportunities for commercial development thus reducing some of the problems faced by small construction firms in South Wales.
