PET is a tool for promoting personal effectiveness in young people. In relation to enterprise, this means supporting students in developing a set of capabilities which will equip them for adult life, employment and self employment. These capabilities include team working, problem solving, risk taking and communication, among others. We believe that people only become more effective through a cycle of action, reflection and improvement planning. The journey to self-improvement is a personal one, however learning is more effective if this process is structured and individuals are guided in their learning. Improvements in knowledge, skills and attitudes are only meaningful if they result in improved performance. Therefore PET advocates assessing what individuals can do as evidence of their learning. By precisely defining the capabilities which are evident in the behaviour of an enterprising person, enterprise learning can be assessed and progress tracked. PET supports the evidencing of capability in activities of increasing complexity and challenge. However, the core assessment is undertaken by the learner themselves through a structured self-assessment process. PET helps the learner develop their capability where they are most talented and where they most need to improve. Over time, the student is guided through activities which improve understanding of enterprise, promote deeper reflection and raise aspirations. PET advocates a fresh approach to learning which students will find engaging and stimulating.
