Can You Inspire Young Enterprise? Get Involved!

Young Enterprise are looking for business people to share their career experiences and opportunities with schools through a short 10-15 minute video that they can record themselves on Teams or Zoom.

Young Enterprise has set up its very own e-learning platform this year – YE Learning Zone. The two online courses currently available on the platform provide opportunities for young people aged 13-19 to develop the vital skills they need to earn and look after their money – these are Route to Success and Employable Me. 

A large part of what Young Enterprise does is focussed around engaging business people and connecting them with the young people they support; ensuring that there is a chance for learners to hear about credible, real-life experiences around the world of work. 

The chance to submit a short video to be added to the course/s is now open. These videos will provide learners with an insight into the world of work and future pathways, including apprenticeships which are available; as well as an opportunity for them to apply context to what they have learnt during YE's careers-based courses. 

Please find detailed guidance below on creating effective videos for Route to Success and Employable Me.
