Now this episode is great because we’re speaking to three sixth formers at school. Anushka, Inès and Grace are all in Year 12 and heavily involved in the school’s Young Enterprise programme. So naturally, I ask them what Young Enterprise is all about and we find out what they’re all doing, the initiatives they’re all involved in and what the important factors are for them working on these projects.

The great thing I discovered on this is that Young Enterprise isn’t just students working in isolation on these projects or even in pairs. But instead they work in bigger organisations, just like in real life. Because, it is real life!

So enough from me, instead let’s get into this episode as we speak now to three students involved in Young Enterprise.
