Students see enterprise in action

YEAR 11 GCSE Business Studies classes at Dunluce School recently took part in the Young Enterprise Northern Ireland 'Enterprise in Action' programme.

Funded by the Department of Education Northern Ireland, the programme is designed to inspire innovation and entrepreneurial attitudes.

Through Enterprise in Action students actively engage in an enterprise challenge, by making a prototype product, as they develop their understanding of key business concepts through practical activities and the use of ICT.

The programme was facilitated by Jackie Smyth from Young Enterprise supported by Dan Henry of Daniel Henry Estate Agents.

Valerie Ingram, Chief Executive of Young Enterprise Northern Ireland, commented: “Enterprise in Action is a great way for students to gain a practical, hands-on insight into the world of business. We hope that this will inspire some of the young people here today to start their own business in the future, or at least to become enterprising employees. No matter what career they choose, the knowledge that they gain through this programme will set them apart from their peers.”

Young Enterprise is Northern Ireland’s foremost business and enterprise education charity and all its programmes are based on the principle of ‘learning by doing’, to promote a culture of enterprise from an early age. All activities are delivered by fully-trained business volunteers from partnership organisations and funded by a variety of public and private sector organisations.
