Young Enterprise is a national charity who specialise in Enterprise Education and Financial Education. Young Enterprise works directly with young people, teachers, volunteers and influencers to build a successful and sustainable future for all young people.

Through their hands-on employability, enterprise and financial education programmes, resources and teacher training, they aim to help young people realise their potential beyond education and empower a generation to learn, to work, and to live.

Since 1962, Young Enterprise has worked with both the business and education sectors to engage over four million young people.
