Young Enterprise

Young Enterprise is a charity that helps to increase students' awareness of how businesses are run. It develops their business acumen, and gives guidance to them when needed. The teams that take part in the process are completely independent and they are lead, run and managed by the students. Every year the teams that are formed compete, first locally, then regionally and ultimately nationally and across Europe. The criteria for a successful Young Enterprise business is judged on the entreprenurial skills of the teams, effective leadership, teamwork, positive social contribution to society as well as financial success.
