About the programme

Why Choose Youth Enterprise Holiday Camp?

Why this programme matters

Today's young generation has more knowledge, technology and opportunities at their fingertips than ever before. Youth Enterprise helps them put their curiosity and ideas into action, becoming confident creators, problem-solvers and decision-makers.

Through one hands-on team project, students investigate a real-world problem, speak to potential users, develop and test a solution, and explore how it could become a business. They work out costs and pricing, create a brand and marketing approach, and pitch their ideas to an audience.

With guidance from industry experts, students develop an entrepreneurial mindset and skills they can carry into their studies and future lives.
