(YES) is an educational programme where Year 12 and 13 students have the opportunity to start a business from scratch, run this business for most of the school year and then wind it up. The YES program has University Entrance recognition.
The programme is designed to be as near to real-life conditions as possible. In it, students learn to...
•- raise capital
•- decide on a product or service
•- write a business plan
•- operate a marketing program
•- motivate staff
•- produce financial outcomes...
all the elements of a real business!
In the last three years over 9,000 young people have taken part and over 95% of the funds raised have gone to the targeted end recipient.
In today's environment, it is so easy to become caught up in our own world and not realise that there are many people out there who are unable to partake in the opportunities many of us have... and many of those people will be able to make a considerable contribution to our society if given a chance. The ActionCOACH New Zealand Educational Foundation is one vehicle for change.
