What we do - welsh

Through practical, hands-on experiences, we spark big ideas, bold ambitions and skills for life.

We are a charity that helps young people build the skills to thrive through hands-on financial and enterprise education. Whether it’s managing money, starting a business or building confidence, our programmes and resources give young people the tools to unlock their potential, wherever they’re starting from.

From one-day experiences to year-long projects, we bring learning to life. Young people gain practical knowledge, find out what they’re capable of and discover the self-belief to take the next step – into further study, employment or launching something of their own.


Designed for learning. Backed by impact.

Our programmes and resources are flexible and engaging – designed to support the curriculum, fit around educators' timetables and meet the needs of learners.

Every year, thousands of schools, colleges and youth settings across England and Wales choose Young Enterprise to bring vital life and work skills into the classroom and beyond.

  • Aligned with Gatsby Benchmarks and PSHE curriculum
  • Mapped to the Curriculum for Wales, English National Curriculum and Curriculum for Excellence in Scotland
  • Proven impact on confidence, motivation and employability

“I remember starting my Young Enterprise company with my schoolmates, sitting in that classroom planning, or standing on that market stall selling our products,” recalls Sufian. “I remember clearly thinking, my family’s days of struggling are over because I am going to make something of myself… I felt like I could take over the world.”

“Young Enterprise was really fun for me and my schoolmates because it took us away from the traditional academic stuff and allowed us to learn how business works,” Steph explains. Young Enterprise taught Steph that with hard work, talent, grit and a bit of luck, anyone could rise to the top.
