Young Enterprise Scheme
The Lion Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme (YES), with The Lion Foundation as principal supporter, is administered in New Zealand by the Enterprise New Zealand Trust.
The scheme is a learning experience for young people, teachers and business people. Senior secondary school students form a company, become directors and develop products and services, which they market and sell.
YES is school based and teaches skills in budgeting, planning, interpersonal relations, decision making, reporting, communications, risk management and teamwork.
In 2010 there are over 60 students taking part in the Young Enterprise Scheme from five South Canterbury schools.
Young Enterprisers:
- Add value to school based knowledge
- Learn how to run a business
- Learn value of being enterprising
- Develop a "can do" attitude
- Learn to take and manage risks
