The overarching aims of the White Rose CETLE were to:

• Provide enterprise teaching resources and support accessible to all staff within the consortium, and especially in the Social Science, Arts and Humanities disciplines where such provision is less developed.
• Provide students with real and simulated interdisciplinary business experience using the micro-incubator and a business simulator;
• Reward demonstrated excellence by teaching staff with prestige teaching prizes and funded study visits
• Effect a durable change in institutional culture towards enterprise;
• Continue to work with a variety of organisations, both nationally and regionally.

Each campus had teaching and learning Enterprise Zones to provide a focal point for students, researchers and staff interested in enterprise.
