What we do
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
