The Lion Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) is an opportunity for students to unleash their inner entrepreneur and experience the start-up world first-hand. It is an experiential programme where students set up and run a real business. Each YES company creates their own product or service and brings this to market.
Through The Lion Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme, students will:
- Learn about business planning and operations
- Develop a range of personal and business skills
- Consult with and create networks in their community
Below are the 2020 businesses run by students at Westlake Girls High School.
