The Young Enterprise experience involves students in years 12/13 in the process of effective decision-making within the business environment.


Throughout the school year the students take ownership and operate their own company model as though it was operating in the outside world.

 

The students:
  • Hold Directors meetings - producing a mission statement with key performance indicators, budget analyses, profit and loss sheets, and direct the Company’s success.
  • Form a company – raising capital by share issue.
  • Produce a product and or service – sell this to produce profit.
  • Pay a return to shareholders and pay ‘tax’.


This is done with real money in real time.

 

Throughout the program there is substantial training and mentoring beginning with the 'E Day' Director's training program.


The first awards were The Oral Awards which were held in June followed in August with a public Trade Fair and concluding with the final end of year awards and presentations.


For those who wish they can sit the Young Enterprise Exam which have NZQA Qualification standards giving credits in NCEA, University Entrance and NZIM management papers.

 

Those that take up this challenge are always rewarded with adventure and those that take responsibility for their own company and for their own decisions are the ones who experience the greatest success. Students learn and get prepared for the business world by doing and accepting the challenge that the scheme can provide.”
