What they believe in and what they offer young people:
In the Young Enterprise mission statement it states that they wish to inspire and equip young people to learn and succeed through enterprise. Young Enterprises guiding principle is to do this through “learning by doing”. This means that young people should learn as they participate in the programme which they choose to do.
Young Enterprise offers many practical ways to help young people from the ages of 4 to 25 get a taste of the world of work and the excitement of running a business.
Their hugely successful programmes are based on the theory of “learning by doing.” They inspire young people to develop aptitudes and attitudes that they cannot learn from a textbook or any traditional academic curriculum.
