about us
Start something...in the East Midlands
The East Midlands region covers the counties of Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire.
Young Enterprise programmes are delivered in over 500 schools and colleges across the region through the direct support of volunteers from business. More than 30,000 young people each year benefit from a Young Enterprise experience and gain a valuable insight into business, enterprise and the world of work.
The Young Enterprise Programmes are based on the principle of "learning by doing" and each programme involves practical, fun, hands-on activity, led by a Volunteer from local business working alongside teachers/lecturers with specifically designed Young Enterprise programmes. The businesses and volunteers that support Young Enterprise take an active role in building a better-motivated, educated and enterprising workforce, at the same time making a real difference to the existing lives and future potential of young people in their area.
