Paralogic and Young Enterprise
This year Paralogic are sponsoring the “Best Use of IT” award for the Young Enterprise programme in Buckinghamshire, to be presented at the end of this month.
Young Enterprise is the UK’s largest business and enterprise education charity. Every year they help 225,000 young people learn about business and the world of work in the classroom under the guidance of a network of 5,000 volunteers from 3,500 companies.
Young Enterprise’s mission statement is “to inspire and equip young people to learn and succeed through enterprise.” It’s guiding principle is to do this through learning by doing.
Their programmes range from a Primary Programme and Company Programme to the university-level start-up initiative with many variations in between. They offer something for every year of education from the age of 4 to 25.
Young Enterprise argues that an excessively narrow focus on academic skills and exams risks sidelining other approaches to learning and can fail to give young people the employability skills they need such as teamwork, practical thinking, punctuality and businesslike behaviour. Skills Paralogic believe are the key to success in the world of work.
Paralogic are proud to sponsor the “Best Use of IT” award and support the Young Enterprise programme.
