ENTERPRISE REPORT

organise points into related groups

he Enterprise report is a report on an enterprise

activity in which the student has participated during
the course of the Link Modules. The report is an
outcome of Unit 4 of the Enterprise Education Link
Module. In this unit students are facilitated in planning,
setting up and running their own enterprise projects as
vehicles of learning. Examples of such enterprises
include

arrange main sections in a logical sequence

describe and evaluate personal contribution to the
activity
draw conclusions and make recommendations
appropriate to the body of the report.

organising a fund-raiser for a local charity

G U I D E L I N E S F O R P R E PA R I N G A N
ENTERPRISE REPORT

producing and selling a product

he enterprise report should be presented as a wordprocessed document 1000 1500 words in length.
This will, on average, comprise four to six pages of
text (not including title page, contents page and any
appendices). The document should be the student's
unique record of a group/class project or enterprise in
which he or she participated as part of the Link
Modules, the purpose of which was to develop
enterprising skills.

setting up a school credit union

compiling a local directory for tourists
organising a careers evening.
On completion of the enterprise, students are expected
to be able to prepare and present a report which
outlines the aims of the activity, describes key events
and evaluates their personal performance.
Report writing is an important skill which students may
call upon many times in the course of their studies and
in their future lives, for example

L AY O U T

The Enterprise Report should have a clear and

consistent layout. In order to achieve this students
should be encouraged to

in further or higher education: completing

assignments or term papers

use simple language and avoid jargon

in business: communicating important findings,

making recommendations for change

write short sentences and paragraphs

in the community: submitting proposals for funding.

use a regular font, e.g. Times New Roman, for

body text
keep to a small number of font types
(for example, two)

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

The enterprise report will assess the student's ability to

include a title page and table of contents

generate a document with a clear and consistent

layout

number pages

state the terms of reference of the report or aims of

the activity

use a clear hierarchy of headings and sub-headings

summarise the main contents

use numbering and/or bullet points where

appropriate.

describe key events

There is no set list of headings for this portfolio item

but students should be encouraged to present the
material in a logical manner, using headings that
enable them to fully achieve the assessment criteria.
The following, while not intended to be prescriptive,
are considered to be important features of an
exemplary enterprise report.

communicate relevant information in appropriate

depth and detail
use charts, tables, diagrams, pictures, as
appropriate to support and illustrate main findings

93

LCVP

Title page
A clearly identifiable title is essential (e.g. Report on a
Careers Exhibition). A sub-title may be added to give
greater detail (e.g. An Enterprise Activity organised by
5th year LCVP students at St Brigid's School, Kilkenny).
Other relevant details on the title page should include
the author's name, intended audience (who the report is
for) and date of completion of the report.

Body of report
This is the main part of the report in which key details
of the enterprise activity are described. The student
should arrange paragraphs in a logical sequence
under clear headings (and sub-headings as
appropriate). Relevant information such as research
undertaken, plans made, actions agreed, tasks carried
out, should be recorded concisely and accurately.

Table of contents
This is a list of the main elements/sections of the report
giving the page numbers on which they appear. Care
should be taken to ensure that the table is laid out
accurately.

Personal contribution to activity

The student should describe how he/she contributed to
the enterprise activity. There are a number of different
ways of achieving this, such as
by including a paragraph entitled 'My Personal
Contribution' in the body of the report

Summary
The summary (or abstract) should give a synopsis of
the report so that a reader can quickly grasp its
essentials before he/she reads the entire text. This
paragraph should include appropriate information
such as

by highlighting personal contribution (e.g. using

italics) at appropriate points in the text
by including an overview and evaluation of
personal contribution at the end of the document.

the subject of the report

Use of charts, tables, diagrams, pictures

Students should include at least one relevant illustration
to support the main findings of the report. Small tables,
diagrams etc. may be included in the body text of the
report. More detailed or larger items should be placed
as appendices (maximum: two items) at the end of
the document. Examples of suitable illustrations
include

the main items dealt with in the text

the main conclusions/recommendations.
Terms of reference/aims
As in the case of the summary report, students may
state the terms of reference of the report or the aims of
the activity.

a flow chart showing stages in the production

process

terms of reference of report: why the report was

written or requested

a table of relevant statistics

aims of activity: what the student/class group

hoped to learn or achieve from the activity.

a project timetable

In either case, two to three short statements are

required. For example, a student reporting on a minienterprise activity might record the following aims

financial data for the mini-enterprise

a photograph of the project team, event, or product
a bar chart or pie chart showing results of the
research

to make and sell 200 Christmas tree stands at a

profit

a route map for the event.

to develop skills in teamwork, planning,

organisation and problem-solving
to utilise the knowledge I have gained in Leaving
Certificate Business and Engineering.

94

LCVP

Conclusions and recommendations

In this part of the report the student should include a
list of conclusions that he/she has drawn following the
enterprise activity. The conclusions should relate to
information already presented in the body of the
report. The student should also make appropriate
recommendations: suggestions for future action, based
on the report's conclusions. Conclusions and
recommendations may be presented in paragraph form
or as numbered/bulleted lists.
Evaluation
This should include an evaluation of the enterprise
activity itself (i.e. to what extent it achieved the stated
aims), an evaluation of group performance and, if not
dealt with separately, an evaluation of personal
performance.
