The Student Enterprise Awards was introduced in the 2002 / 03 academic year and culminated with a very successful National final held in Tullamore on 11th May 2003. The awards programme continues to offer students the opportunity to take a business from the idea stage, through market research to production, selling, record keeping, management and finally writing a comprehensive report on their activities. Participation in the programme encourages students to consider becoming entrepreneurs in the future and they will be much better prepared by their experience. The experience of running a business brings many other benefits to students; it enhances creativity, improves communication skills and provides practical uses for business studies topics. In addition to organising County and National Finals, Boards are in a position to provide assistance to teachers in the delivery of the programme. |
Many City and County Enterprise Boards support teachers in the delivery of a number of action based enterprise programmes designed to give students practical experience of setting up and running their own business.
