Jersey’s Young Enterprise student company competition has been shaped through many lessons learned over the past few years. It offers all Jersey based 6th form students the opportunity to network with their peers and learn new skills. Through first-hand experience they will discover that it takes more than just academic know-how to run a successful company.
Eamon Fenlon, Chairman, said “the life lessons they will learn such as collaboration, communication, compromise as well as the more academic aspects such as finance, HR, corporate governance, marketing and branding will propel them forward in their future careers. We invite all students who wish to participate to submit their applications for this year’s competition to do so by the 9th of October 2020”.
This video highlights just a few of the reasons why students should join the scheme:
