“Taking part in the programme has been an exciting and eye-opening experience for me. The programme has been enriched with valuable industry partners and professionals, several of whom have continued working with me over the summer.”
"Young Enterprise is an opportunity for students to apply their learning, it also gives them a stepping stone into experiencing the real world of business. My favourite parts of the programme are watching students grow and get joy in their studies, but with a clear sustainability focus."
