Young Enterprise

All Key Stage 3 pupils take part in Young Enterprise Northern Ireland. YENI is a charity developing the entrepreneurial skills and aspirations of young people aged 4-25 to prepare them for the new economy.

Through this programme we develop the skills of young people to ensure they leave education prepared for work and life. The programmes all address the skills development requirements of the Northern Ireland Curriculum.

Some of the skills that we help to develop through this course are:

Communication
Managing Information
Working with others
Using mathematics
Thinking, Problem Solving and Decision Making
Self Management
Using ICT
Being Creative

Programmes that we offer
