Student Enterprise

This is a competition that offers students the opportunity to take a business from the idea stage through market research to production, selling, record keeping, management and finally writing a report on their activities.

Participation in the programme will encourage students to consider becoming entrepreneurs in the future and they will be much better prepared by their experience.  The experience of running a business brings many other benefits to students; it enhances creativity, improves communication skills and provides opportunities for students to use their initiative and work as a team etc.

Awards will be presented at School, County and National Finals in the following categories:

• Senior                     Forms     4, 5 & 6

• Intermediate           Forms     2 & 3

• Junior                      Form       1

Adjudication will take place for the school round of the competition during the Adjudication/Market Day in December.   Winners go forward to the County Final and if successful on to the National Final.
