CET’s vision is for a future where people in the UK actively understand and learn the skills, attitudes, and behaviours they need to gain and thrive in a fulfilling career.
This universally-understood, accepted, and recognised definition of Commercial Ability will be established and widely disseminated. It will inform the plans and thinking of educators, trainers, employers, policymakers, and the third sector, who will work collaboratively to nurture and develop the Commercial Ability of all people throughout their careers, in order to create a more prosperous and productive society.
Commercial education will be embedded throughout the curriculum, across subjects and at all levels of the education system as a tool for delivering this excellent Commercial Ability.
Young people and their parents will understand that it is available to them, and educators and trainers will be fully equipped to deliver it successfully with support from employers.
This learning will not stop at school, college, or university, but extend into the workplace where opportunities for further training and development will be available throughout each individual’s career.
