Young Enterprise

January 17, 2019

Year 10 students were very engaged this morning in their Young Enterprise Project Business Programme. Students were asked to purchase raw materials, manufacture a product, sell it, bank some of their money and then restock their raw materials, manufacture and sell again. The students allocated themselves different roles for this project.

At the end of the session the group with the most money banked was the winner. This was an excellent opportunity for the students to practice their communication skills, their organisational skills and their numerical skills. Martin, the Young Enterprise facilitator was amazed at their entrepreneurial abilities. This was a very successful session.
