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:
Ministers to meet with LVA to discuss hospitality concerns
Looneys of Ramsey to close
Trade is good, but it's still a struggle to make a profit, says local business
Villiers Square development plans approved
Developer offers Newson's building to government 'free of charge'
Financial education course launched through UCM
