| | | | | | |
Target group: Sixth form students
The Young Entrepreneurs programme focuses on tailor-made challenges, developed in conjunction with sponsoring companies or professional organizations which align student project work with company objectives or community needs, and support the teaching of the A-level curriculum. |
| |  |
| | | | | | | | The annual Young Entrepreneurs programme consists of up to seven challenges each of which is devised with and supported by a Surrey company or Institution. Up to six schools can take part in each challenge. School teams, usually of 3-6 students, are briefed on company premises, and their progress is monitored by company staff. Challenges widen student awareness of the supporting company, and of the processes and problems involved in developing a new product or system. Specific one-day enterprise challenges are organised for up to 10 schools participating in teams of ten students. |
