Abstract: Entrepreneurship education has increased in prominence over the past decade yet somewhat paradoxically remains outside the statutory school curriculum in many places, including the UK. Despite this, there has been a growing movement to embed enterprise education widely, including supporting enterprise through community-based learning. This article is the output from a participatory action research case study which analyzes the implementation of community-based enterprise learning in Rotherham (UK) and examines the experiences of developing community-based enterprise learning and the challenges of creating a sustainable model. The article finds that such a model depends on creating an effective community of practice with distributed leadership that is able to co-produce community-based enterprise learning. The article concludes by reflecting on the emerging model and identifies recommendations for achieving sustainable community-based enterprise learning.
