The Young Enterprise In Action Programme

Inspire creative fun through an enterprise challenge!

Business volunteers challenge students to identify and develop attitudes
and capabilities for entrepreneurship through creating a prototype product.
Seven sessions run as a 1-day intensive programme.
Students think up, design, plan, build and promote a model for their prototype product.
An interactive simulated business context is created over the Internet.
Underpinning business concepts are delivered via games and activities.
Contributes to the development of enterprise capability.

"A lot of what the students are doing is exactly what they would be
doing if they were running their own business. The problem solving,
working in teams, sourcing materials, finding out that you can’t
always get what you want and having to change your plans, looking at
pricing - all the sort of things they’ve covered are the sort of things
that they would encounter in running their own business."
Tracy Eason - Business Volunteer

“I think I’ve learnt a lot. It’s not always as straightforward as you think. Things change and you have to change your plans to make the business work.” Ross Needs, Enterprise in Action student, Brislington School.
