What is it?
I believe enterprise and education are of vast
importance to the future prosperity for us as
individuals and as a community. To ensure future
prosperity our young people must gain experience
and an understanding of enterprise, business and
the economy, if they are to develop the skills,
knowledge and attitudes, which are essential in a
changing labour market.
