Investing in the future of enterprise in Southland
The Young Enterprise Scheme gives Southland students a chance to learn first hand about the business world.
Under the YES programme, year 12 and 13 students form their own company and create a new product or service. They fund the start-up capital, start production and introduce their business idea to the market. The program is run within the school syllabus, gaining qualifications, or as a extra curriculum activity
During the year, the students learn about business planning, leadership, marketing, finance and production. They also learn about the importance of teamwork, and how to work with others in their community.
In Southland, the programme is proudly co-ordinated by the Chamber of Commerce Southland, as part of their focus on Business Viability. YES is a wonderful learning experience for Southland students. To find out more or get involved, please contact us.
