Students are mentored by a Young Enterprise Business Adviser and Business teacher to set up and run their own real company over a year. Learning is inside and outside of the classroom and covers the key aspects of business - considering & developing ideas, marketing, sales, managing finance and human resources. Students can participate in Young Enterprise trade fairs and a range of competitions against students from other colleges and schools, locally and nationally, promoting and selling their products to hopefully make a profit. Additional awards can be won through successful participation in trade fairs and the Company of the Year competition - e.g. Best Trade Stand, Most Innovative Product, Creative Marketing and Best Company - these have been won by our students in recent years.

You will go through a selection process to become a member of the Young Enterprise Company as it requires not just attendance at enrichment lessons, but also commitment to complete tasks between meetings and participate in trade fairs and competition events which are held in the evenings and at weekends (normally 3 or 4 throughout the year).
