The Lion Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme, with The Lion Foundation as principal supporter, is administered in New Zealand by Enterprise New Zealand Trust. It is a learning experience for young people, teachers and business people in which senior secondary school students form a company; become directors; develop products and services, which they market and sell. Yes is school based and teaches skills in budgeting, planning, interpersonal relations, decision making, reporting, communications; risk management and teamwork.

Young Enterprisers

add value to school based knowledge

learn how to run a business

learn value of being enterprising

develop a "can do" attitude

learn to take and manage risks.

The scheme is supported at the local level by Regional Coordinators, who, during the year find business mentors for each company, arrange directors' seminars, trade fairs, oral and end of year presentations, and teacher/mentor training.

The E-days are nearly over and its been great to meet all of the Lion Foundation YES students and teachers from across the country. Three things to do after "Eday".

1. Win one of 3 start up funds of $100 for your company - remind your teacher to register your company on line before 26 March to go in the draw.

2. "D" day is coming  - get help to make a prototype and packaging, specific advice on developing your project, free access to software and a free lunch!
