Enteprise Fairs

Our unique enterprise fairs give High School Students an opportunity to find out what it means to be an entrepreneur.  Our Fairs have built on a successful track record in the past three years they offer students the chance to put questions
direct to half a dozen local business people like:

Why did you start your own business?

What was the biggest obstacle?

What keeps you going?

With the emphasis on new and micro businesses small groups of students mix informally with owners who are in show and tell mode.  Students are asked to consider what makes a successful entrepreneur and how they might measure up to the challenge.  Feedback tells us that its not just students who enjoy the Fairs…businesses do too as they get to meet other local businesses. 

The businesses come from all over the north east ranging from a horse dental technician in Berwick to a fashion designer from Whitley Bay, from a stained glass artist in Newbiggin to a micro-brewer from Allendale.  They show that you don't need a huge amount of capital to get started; you need to have a dream or an idea and the passion to follow it through.

We are working with High Schools in the North East from Berwick-upon Tweed to Prudhoe and from Amble to Haydon Bridge to improve enterprise learning opportunities for students and making a wider range of learning activities and materials available electronically to more students than ever before.  Working with teachers we are creating an enterpriser learning network offering support and more training for teachers.

Prudhoe Enterprise Clubs

The workshops have taken place at the Prudhoe East Centre.
