Teentrepreneurs are soon soon soon!

It's great to see the Community Enterprise Centre here at the Main Place, Coleford being used to help young people achieve. The Teenentrepeneurs scheme is due to start this month with workshops designed to help youngsters 13 - 19 develop their enterprise skills.

Working on behalf of the Coleford Area Partnership, Clare Ham has made it all happen and was awarded funding  by the Royal Bank of Scotland's Inspiring Youth Award.   

A series of workshops have been setup, taking place over a one week period, and will include exploring feasibility of ideas, market research, marketing, websites, social media, customer service etc.

For more information and to apply contact Clare on 01594 836469 or email info@main-place.org.uk     or follow the link: application

Great to see something for teenages.
I started a small business at 14 years old. In the beginning it gave me extra pocket money, but went on to pay for all my driving lessons so I could get driving as soon as I turned 17.
I lived in a small village with very poor transport links, so a car was vital.
I even employed school friends at weekends!
Teenagers are now generally so savvy about social media that they have an instant advantage.
