SCHOOLS PROGRAMME
At the start of the new academic year we offer support and suggestions to students, teachers and independent learners in second level schools throughout the Dublin City area on all aspects of enterprise. In our current economic climate, it has been widely acknowledged that the entrepreneurs of the future hold the key to our county's success and more importantly its survival.
Our supports for teachers, schools and students are available at the end of a telephone call or email - you tell us how you need the support and we will endeavour to bring enterprise to life in your classroom.
We also offer support for independent learners who may have individual questions or needs. It is our aim to help create, re-inforce and encourage difference and challenge students to create an entreprise culture in young people in the Dublin City Area.
If you would like to learn more about our workshops and information events please check in our students section for tips on how to get started and don't forget to check out our teachers section for that little extra!
