    Abstract

    This article provides an overview of a pan-Scotland enterprise education initiative, which is helping to prepare students for the digital revolution and to equip individuals with an enterprising skills-set. Universities across Scotland have been working in partnership with the Scottish Institute for Enterprise (SIE) to accredit creativity, communication and collaboration skills within modules and degree programmes. The three-tier Scottish Innovative Student Award (SISA) recognises students’ high-level skills development within existing academic modules, as well as providing an opportunity for students to confront problems in new ways, through participating in a national one-day enterprise workshop and entrepreneurial-based learning activities.
