Transforming the future for tomorrow’s generation
We began with a simple vision – to equip young people with the enterprise skills, knowledge and attitudes they need to face life in the 21st century with confidence.
Our approach harnesses ‘enterprise’ as a vehicle for transformation – raising aspirations, developing skills and bringing the community together to create a more prosperous future.
Enterprise is more important now than ever. Changes brought on by rapid globalisation, technology and more recently, the recession, mean that young people face an increasingly complex and uncertain future.
Nationally, one in five young people aged 16-24 are unemployed.
Young people coming through education now need to know that they might have to employ themselves if they eventually want a job. They also need to develop the skills that will help them thrive in a competitive national and international jobs market.
Enterprise and entrepreneurial skills and attitudes should be an essential part of a 21st century education.
We’ve developed a blue print to support schools and colleges to help inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs and enterprising employees. Find out more here.
