Youth Enterprise

Excite & re-engage learners who are not thriving in mainstream education with this practical & inspirational programme.

Participants will develop craft design & construction skills, then put them to use producing high-quality items to be sold through a micro-enterprise established and run by the group.

The focus is firmly on setting & achieving goals and on identifying the transferable skills, knowledge and aptitudes which will help each young person to move towards their dream.

Participants are encouraged to identify and learn from positive role models. Accreditation / 1-2-1 mentoring can be provided as part of this programme if required.

Challenge your 14-19 learners with real-life enterprise experiences.

Participants use the medium of jewellery / accessories to explore how business works, what must happen if an enterprise is to succeed and how to make a profit.

Programmes range from a one-day enterprise challenge, to a full-year accredited programme and different options feature master-classes, guest speakers, workshop visits and opportunities to earn on-going royalty fees.

Accreditation / 1-2-1 mentoring can be provided as part of this programme if required.

Unleash learners creative abilities by exploring the exciting art of cultural craft & jewellery making, in this fabulous hands-on workshop which can be adapted to suit all ages and abilities.

Participants will design and make a piece of culturally inspired jewellery to keep and wear.
