Young Entrepreneur

The “Young Entrepreneur Programme and Awards” is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting entrepreneurship as a natural career choice. It is our stated mission to help identify, inform, recognize and celebrate Kerry’s next generation of business leaders by fostering student entrepreneurship through a comprehensive training course, interaction with entrepreneurs, mentoring and a business plan competition.

 

The Institute of Technology Tralee (ITT), Kerry Technology Park, Jerry Kennelly (winner Ernst &Young Entrepreneur of the Year, and former CEO of Stockbyte) and the Tom Crean Centre have pooled their expertise and resources to develop the Entrepreneur Programme aimed at 15-23 year olds in Kerry’s 2nd and 3rd level institutions.

 

The programme is very ambitious and includes:

1. Comprehensive and custom designed syllabus

2. Active involvement of key regional and national entrepreneurs in its design, implementation and evaluation

3. On-line support via dedicated website

4. Work books, website and business books for students

5. Training and resource packs for teachers

6. Prize Fund – top prize of €5,000 plus a number of runner-up prizes

Programme & Awards 2012.
