This paper discusses the progression of enterprising education, and its impact on the institutional stakeholder, in order to ascertain aspects of identification and engagement. This greater understanding of the entrepreneurial context, between delivery and professional support stakeholders aid in the stipulation of actionable principles towards more effective, entrepreneurship-based courses and programmes. This paper highlights, as derived from literature, the many surrounding factors persistent in enterprising forms of education. These include professional recruitment, institutional strategy, and entrepreneurial behaviours and emotions.
