Bradford’s young entrepreneurs are about to get a huge boost as the charity Young Enterprise Yorkshire and Humber has teamed up with Bradford Kickstart to create Young Enterprise Bradford.

Aimed at 11 to 18 year olds in secondary schools and colleges across Bradford, Young Enterprise Bradford will bring the Kickstart message into the classroom and will give young people a real insight into creating and managing a business.

Youngsters will have the opportunity to set-up and run their own company, as well as participate in hands-on enterprise activities led by volunteers from local businesses. Working alongside head teachers and college tutors from across the district, Young Enterprise Bradford will build upon the foundations already in place to inspire young people, drive ambition and encourage new skills and abilities. Students will also be able to showcase the results of their hard work at special events and conferences around the area.
