News: Awards for young entrepreneurs
Young enterprise is being celebrated in a special awards ceremony at the New York Stadium in Rotherham next week.
The annual awards ceremony, taking place on May 9, marks the culmination of the Young Enterprise Programme for the academic year and will showcase the range of businesses set up and managed by South Yorkshire students.
Young Enterprise is the UK's largest business and enterprise education charity. It helps young people learn about business and the world of work in the classroom under the guidance of volunteers from 3,500 companies.
This year is the 50th anniversary of Young Enterprise in the UK. Recent research showed that 42% of people surveyed that went through a Young Enterprise Programme started firms compared to 26% of people surveyed that had not.
At the beginning of the programme the South Yorkshire students taking part decide upon a business idea and then allocate roles for all involved to undertake in the running of the business. They are given support and advice to help them get the businesses off the ground.
Meryl White, chair of South Yorkshire Young Enterprise Board said: "We are really looking forward to meeting all of the students who have taken part in this year's programme and finding out more about their businesses.
"The range of awards covers everything from Excellence in Innovation and Enterprise, Customer Focus and Social, Ethical and Environmental.
"Each year we are amazed by the standard of businesses set up and managed by these groups of young people.
"The students are so impressive and to see them stand up in front of more than 100 people and give apprentice style presentations about their business.
"We are looking forward to hearing about their business journey, finding out about what they had learned and problems they encountered and discover how much money their business has made.
"Once again our huge thanks go to all the businesses in South Yorkshire who have been involved with Young Enterprise and have given time and money to help support this project which inspires and enables young people to get a taste of entrepreneurism."
