TEAM PROGRAMME

• 15- 19 years

• Flexible timing up to one academic year

Team Programme is an enterprise journey for students who have mild to moderate learning difficulties. Designed to aid young people’s transition from education into independent living and employment, the programme develops confidence and life skills through working as a team to set up and run an enterprise.

Students interact with adults and grow in confidence as they run their own student company. They make all the decisions about their enterprise, from deciding on the name and product to selling to the public with pop up shops.

Each student takes on a job role and works as part of a team to be responsible for an area of the business such as finance, sales or marketing. Students gain confidence of handling money and understanding numbers in a practical context. They have the opportunity to open a bank account, interact with business volunteers and customers at sales events and present to an audience.

Full editable teacher resources are provided to guide the teacher through the process of setting up and running the business. Resources have been designed to be flexible and meet a range of abilities and needs.

Young Enterprise will work with the school or college to identify and train a suitable Volunteer Business Adviser who will support the programme and bring knowledge and expertise from the world of work. All YE Volunteer Business Advisers are DBS checked and are required to complete safeguarding training.
