Young Enterprise  With more than 40 years’ experience, Young Enterprise is the UK’s leading business and enterprise education charity.  It offers a range of programs, based on the principle of Learning by Doing, which brings volunteers from business into the classroom to work with teachers and students.  The program that we are going to run enables students to work together to run their own real company.

Throughout your life at School, College or University you are constantly making decisions and choices that will affect your future  forming friendships,  deciding which subjects to take  choosing whether to work hard at your studies  deciding whether to get involved in school groups and extra-curricular activities. And you never know when one of these decisions will change your life. Well here comes another one...

How prepared are you for the future?  Hopefully you will gain the qualifications you need to embark on the career of your choice, but will you have the business skills necessary to make your career a success, or will you have the extra edge that will get you your dream job?  Perhaps you would like to have a go at setting up your own business, but do you know where to start?  This is where Young Enterprise comes in!

What is a Young Enterprise Company?  It is a real business enterprise run like a limited company.  It will be formed and run by students (YOU!) who must be shareholders and Directors of your company  It will give you the opportunity to test out your ideas, your skills and your ability to cope with new and often difficult situations
