Do you want to improve your chances of getting the university place or job you want in two years' time? Do you fancy your chances in competition against other local schools for a highly prized award, judged and presented by local businessmen? Do you want a taste of corporate life?
Young Enterprise will give you all of these.
Young Enterprise is a programme run by the school for the Lower Sixth form to establish and run a small company on a commercial basis. The company will need a full Executive Board (Managing Director, Marketing Finance and HR Directors etc) and a 'workforce', all of whom will come from the Lower Sixth. The programme is supported by both JHGS staff members and external business advisers from the local business community.
As a member of Young Enterprise, you have total control of the business: everything from deciding what type of business to be (what markets and products etc) through to running the operational aspects of the company: sales, manufacturing, distribution, financial management and reporting.
You have the option of taking an examination which will give you UCAS points and involvement is viewed very positively, both in selection process for University places and by prospective employers.
Your commitment is an after-school weekly meeting and then whatever time and effort is necessary to make your chosen business successful.
