Our Mission
We believe that the potential of Gibraltar's
young people is unlimited!
​
We aim to make Young Enterprise the leading business and financial
education programme provider in Gibraltar.​
We forge the connection between school and the world of work, enabling
young people to develop the knowledge and attitudes they need to
succeed, building on eight key skills:
​​
Communication
Confidence
Financial capability
Initiative
Organization
Problem-solving
Teamwork
Resilience
​
'Your legacy is created with every step you decide to take'
​​​
We want to contribute to a vision of a world in which ALL young people
have the skill-set and mindset to build thriving communities.
​
The hands-on project based learning our programmes provide, is especially beneficial for
those youngsters that thrive less within a strictly academic approach.
We aim to share our mission to inspire and prepare young people to
succeed in a global economy. We owe it to the next generation to invest in
their future.
We intend our programmes to prepare young people for employment and entrepreneurship.
Creating opportunities for youth employability is what motivates us.
We focus on young people; providing learning experiences at little or no charge.
We engage in dynamic partnerships with the business community.
We provide training for educators and volunteers if required, and create
partnerships between educators, the business community and training
providers.
We aspire to be recognised by businesses, educators, and policymakers as
a leading educational organisation.
We contribute to building the Junior Achievers (‘JA’) global brand through
the JA Brand Guidelines.
​
​
Why Are We Needed?
The case for young people to leave school able to be in control of their money and to plan for the future has never been stronger.
Children and young people encounter money earlier and earlier, spending and saving their pocket money, mobile phones, pre-paid cards and part time jobs.
Crucial decisions have to be taken about getting a job or living independently.
​
Despite this, there is no formal provision for financial and enterprise education
in the National Curriculum.
​
We owe it to the next generation to invest in their future.
