Young Enterprise Scheme

Creating tomorrow's entrepreneurs today.

 

 

The Lion Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) is where young entrepreneurs put their creativity into practice. As directors of their own company, students are challenged to develop a business plan and execute that plan for real, making their own decisions and managing risk.

 

The YES is an experiential business programme for secondary school students usually run at Years 12 and/or 13. It involves working through the process of setting up and running a business. This is not a textbook course; students invest real money, produce real products or services, and keep any real profits. For students, Young Enterprise is a great opportunity to test out your ideas, realise uniqueness, develop strengths, learn about enterprise and possibly make a profit.

 

Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development facilitates this project in the Counties Manukau region.

 

Are you interested in being involved?  There is always a need for coaches and mentors for the student businesses, judges for the competitive Business Plan and Annual Return competitions.  Your company may choose to be a sponsor.
