Young Enterprise Gibraltar Company Launch 2020
With employers increasingly looking for people who are innovative, creative and adaptable, and who have the ability to apply these skills and attitudes in any role, the Company Programme provides the opportunity for young people in Gibraltar to develop these skills and provides a strong foundation for their futures.
The students try to find solutions to everyday problems with their products and throughout the year with the help of volunteer Link Teachers and Business Advisors will learn a range of key business skills from applying for a corporate bank account, to writing Board resolutions, brainstorming ideas and how to pitch, sell and market these.
At the end of the academic year each team will present their business, its progress, challenges, experiences and results to a panel of judges. A winning team will be selected who will then have the opportunity to compete with other finalists from across the UK and the Channel Islands in the UK.
Young Enterprise Gibraltar launched this year’s businesses at the new Westside school with students from Westside, Bayside and Prior Park taking part. This year the teams continue to focus on predominant local and worldwide issues including mental and physical wellbeing, the environment and developing young people’s education.
The launch at Westside School marked the unveiling of this year’s line-up and products to the student's family members and local dignitaries. The event gave the young entrepreneurs the chance to network, market research to improve and develop their businesses and secure some vital pre-orders.
Chairman of the Gibraltar Young Enterprise Carlos Garcia opened the event at Westside School.
“This year amongst this Young Enterprise Company Programme and other junior programmes held in the schools, there are over 1,100 students taking part in Young Enterprise, supported by the Board, the Department of Education and the help of our volunteers from the business community who give their time to support, coach and provide the reality of business in to this environment.”
“Young Enterprise will prepare you to be different to anyone else attending the same interviews. Students will be able to talk about their journey, how they have been a Managing Director at the age of 16 and paid dividends to their shareholders.”
