What is YE all about?

Young Enterprise offers a range of programmes for young people from four years of age through to twenty five. The Young Enterprise programmes are all based on the principle of learning by doing and bring volunteers from business into the classroom or university to work with the teacher and students. Each programme is supported with training for teachers and volunteers with the provision of comprehensive materials for teachers, students and volunteers.

Some of the Young Enterprise programmes offer students direct experience of enterprise through working together to run their own real company. Others are structured around seminars and classes, using games, activities and role-play to help students develop skills and capabilities for enterprise, business and the world of work.

With more than 40 years experience of developing and delivering tried and tested and tailor-made enterprise learning solutions, Young Enterprise currently reaches more than 320,000 young people a year through the involvement and support of over 3,500 UK businesses.
