We work directly with young people, teachers, and businesses to help build a successful and sustainable future for all young people. Through our employability and financial education programmes and resources we want to help young people realise their potential.
At Young Enterprise, we are constantly inspired by what young people can achieve. No Time Like The Future is about extending our reach to young people in all parts of the country, opening doors they didn’t know existed.
By 2023, YE aims to create 1 million opportunities – but we can’t do it without the 40,000 volunteers, teachers, and alumni across our network and a £16 million investment. We need your help to give more young people access to the enterprise and finance skills that can shape their careers and help transform their futures.
Young Enterprise is a national charity. We motivate young people to succeed in the changing world of work by equipping them with the work skills, knowledge and confidence they need to succeed.
We believe that the potential of the UK’s young people is unlimited, and an academic education on its own is not enough. We empower young people to discover, develop and celebrate their skills and potential.
In 2017/18, we reached 315,000+ young people across the UK, helping them to develop their business, financial and entrepreneurial capabilities. This is an increased reach of 43% on the previous year.
Since 1962, we have worked with both the business and education sectors to engage over four million young people. We believe in the power of ‘learning by doing’ and the difference that it has made and continues to make to the lives, futures and ambitions of young people.
We are committed to increasing our engagement in deprived areas from 39% to 50% by 2019. This remains a key priority.
Engagement of volunteers from industry and business is a vital ingredient in helping young people develop the confidence and knowledge to start work, and to gain an understanding of the skills and attitudes valued by employers.
Your support matters. It improves the prospects of young people and makes a real difference. View full list of supporters here
