Young Enterprise is Northern Ireland’s foremost business and enterprise education charity, and a member of the Junior Achievement Worldwide network, the world’s largest and fastest growing business and economic education organisation, reaching over 8 million young people worldwide.

Founded in 1986, the organisation runs over 13 core programmes for more than 88,000 young people each year in Northern Ireland through the support of businesses and volunteers.

Its mission is ‘to inspire and equip young people to learn and succeed through enterprise.’

All Young Enterprise programmes are based on the principle of ‘learning by doing’, to promote a culture of enterprise from an early age. Many of these complement existing education programmes by offering specific curriculum links.

Students gain a first-hand insight into enterprise, business and the world of work, as all Young Enterprise programmes are delivered by business volunteers from our partnership organisations, all of whom are fully trained.

Some of the Young Enterprise programmes offer students direct experience of enterprise by running their own real company. Others are structured around seminars and classes, using games, activities and role-play to help students understand and develop skills and capabilities for their future.

Whether you are a student, a teacher or a professional interested in opportunities for personal development, working in partnership with Young Enterprise Northern Ireland can bring many benefits to your organisation.
