What it's all about

THe YBC project is a part of Students in Free Enterprise Nottingham Trent, following on from our the enterprise week project, where the team held CV and interview skills workshops in local schools. Our aim is to help students in local skills develop their entrepreneurial and transferable skills, which will benefit them whatever they choose to do after school. It involves us delivering business and entrepreneurship workshops in schools, culminating in a competition, where these skills will be put to use.

What's needed to make it a reality

Funding and support in terms of advice on running the project and help with establishing links with schools.
