Students Meet Young Enterprise Advisors

Students Meet Young Enterprise Advisors

Last Wednesday saw the first meeting between the students and the Young Enterprise representatives and advisors. Both student companies were well represented with few exceptions.

After being introduced David Graham, YE coordinator for the West Midlands took the students through the whole process that they will be involved with for the next few months. He was followed by Peter Walton  (YE), who is going to be the students business advisor throughout the process. He talked about his business experience and how he could help the students through the process.

Last but not least the students met Emma Lockwood a local business woman with vast experience in Sales & Marketing and Directing Operations for large corporate businesses.

Following the introductions students were invited to ask questions and meet their advisors, which they did with a lot of enthusiasm.

Overall the meeting was a great success and the students went away with renewed purpose.

The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday 14th December at 1520.

Mr. C

and we are off and running.... We have had a lot of interest in the Young Enterprise scheme from the students and as a result have 2 teams of 7 competing in this year's competition. A quick recap on what's involved The Company Programme enables participants to experience what it’s like to set up and run a student company. Programme Overview: Running throughout one academic year, students make all the decisions about their enterprise, from deciding on the name and product to creating a business plan, managing the student company finances and selling to the public at trade fairs. Students are covered by Young Enterprise Public Liability Insurance. All this takes place with the support of a volunteer Business Adviser who brings a wealth of business knowledge and expertise. A range of resources are provided to help manage the company. Teams track their progress using self-assessment tools and even compete against other schools in local, regional and national competitions.

 Young Enterprise Celebration Dinner  What a fantastic evening! As you can see by the pictures the kids looked amazing. The Park Inn at Telford who hosted the event was packed with students, advisors and business people from across Shropshire. Following a mini-trade fair the kids were applauded into the main hall where we were treated to a lovely meal. The Main Event - the Awards Ceremony As you can see from the image below all 31 teams were in attendance for the awarding of a wide variety of awards.  Nervous & Frustrating Wait  As the nominations progressed the kids got very frustrated as they were nominated in the top 3 no less than 4 times for the 'Safer Communities Award'; 'Best Customer Interaction'; the 'Innovation Award' and the 'Entreprenurship Award', before they finally picked up the award for ' Most Passionate about Business '. Above they are on-stage receiving their award from a representativ
