With more than 40 years’ experience, Young Enterprise is the UK’s leading business and enterprise education charity.

It offers a range of programmes, based on the principle of Learning by Doing, which brings volunteers from business into the classroom to work with teachers and students. Some of our programmes enable students to work together to run their own real company. Others use games, hands on activities and role play to develop skills and capabilities for business and enterprise.

With more than 5,500 schools and colleges participating in our programmes, Young Enterprise currently reaches more than 320,000 young people a year from primary school right through to university.

The businesses and volunteers that support Young Enterprise take an active role in building a better-motivated, educated and enterprising workforce, at the same time making a real difference to the existing lives and future potential of young people who live and attend school in their area.
