Work Week for primary schools is a whole school programme offering a range of specially designed modules, themed for different year groups, around jobs that people do. It is delivered by Inspired the education business partnership for Hackney London. The Work Week starts with the children forming their own product driven enterprises. The bizunlimited! team will be visiting years 5 and 6 at Millfields School to run workshops with the class teachers followed by trading games to help the children understand the need for them to keep good records of their enterprise’s spending. bizunlimited! will also be introducing their non-cash form of trading to the child-entrepreneurs to emphasise that cash isn’t king in business - good relations with customers and suppliers are far more important.
