In schools we do a lot of work to encourage enterprise skills, with the aim of encouraging more of students to be entrepreneurial (running businesses). Let us know if you want more info on our schools programme. For this competition we had to come up with a snappy title (Entrepreneurial Young Brits is not quite so good!) and we make the criteria quite clear that we are rewarding those with real businesses, as you can see from the list of finalists. I hope that by sharing our finalist's stories we can inspire educators and students alike, rather than confusing them. We really like it when people share their thoughts as it often informs our activities moving forward - does anyone else have an opinion on this? Thanks Hannah (Head of Communications) Hi Mike,

The most enterprising young brit may be plotting the revolution, writing poetry or cycling across Greenland on a diet of jelly. Entrepreneurial does not mean enterprising! Stop adding to the confusion in schools and the reticence of many educators to get involved in enterprise - PLEASE!
