Junior Achievement plans schools' summit
Island sixth formers are being offered what could be a life-changing opportunity this autumn, if they aim to start their own business.
All Year 12 pupils who sign-up for the Junior Achievement Company Programme will be invited to a Global Entrepreneurship Day at Ballakermeen high school in November.
The event is a 'first' for the Manx charity - which helps youngsters build their own companies from scratch.
It will see successful young entrepreneurs including Superjam founder Fraser Doherty offer students master classes.
Junior Achievement's CEO Sue Cook says the annual schools' business programme has developed with the times:
'Running a business in Strand Street is more difficult than ever'
Traders on Michael Street feel 'abandoned' by politicians in tough times
Work underway to 'get confidence back in the economy'
Energy and food security "two most important things", says MHK
