Senior secondary school students develop hands-on knowledge in starting and and operating a small business during the school year. Students brainstorm an idea for a product or service, produce, market and sell the product.


Lion Foundation Youth Enterprise Scheme (YES) in Canterbury

Canterbury Development Corporation is the main sponsor and coordinator of the Lion Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) for the Canterbury region. 

In the Young Enterprise Scheme senior secondary students operate their own companies during the YES year.  Personal achievement and excellence is encouraged through Dragon’s Den-style competitions, workshops and public trade fairs involving the wider community and industry in assisting YES students to open pathways for future business and learning. Students experience not only the business process, but take innovative ideas and make them into real products, with advice from real business mentors.

See the calendar of events for the exciting programme of events and what's up for the latest news, photos and winners of the various competitions.
                    
The success of the YES programme in Canterbury is due to the support of many business mentors, advisors and sponsors.
YES is a national programme of Enterprise New Zealand Trust
