Today young people need to be more adaptable than ever before,prepared to change career direction in response to opportunity and to learn new skills throughout their working lives. In other words, they need to be enterprising.
The Production School's Young Enterprise Company Programme gives students the opportunity to prepare for this working life through the experience of running their own company, supported by volunteer Advisers from business. Students aged 15-19 set up and run their company over the course of one academic year. They elect a board of directors from amongst their peers, raise share capital, and market and finance a product or service of their own choice. At the end of the year they present a report and accounts to their shareholders.
