Value proposition

Inspiring & equipping young people to learn, develop and reach their full potential through enterprise.

Young Enterprise Scotland has been inspiring & equipping young people to learn, develop and reach their full potential through enterprise since 1992. Every year they support around 15,000 young people, from all backgrounds, develop their business knowledge, entrepreneurial skills & ultimately become more employable.

The dedicated & passionate team of staff are supported by over 600 volunteers from the business community to help them to realise their vision for Scotland to be a place where all young people should be given the opportunity to have a rewarding future in work and life - no matter where they start their journey.
Young Enterprise Scotland set high standards whilst being creative in approach. The delivery has widened and diversified across three key areas – School Programmes, Pathway Programmes and Bridge 2 Business. Whilst growing the offering they always ensure that all activities are fit to meet their Mission whilst adhering to a guiding principle to do this in “learning by doing"​ format.

As an organisation that aims to inspire young people to learn and succeed through enterprise, it is not just important what we do in terms of our activities, ensuring they are relevant to meet our mission, but it is even more important how we undertake our activities. In everything that we do we will work with the following values:

Integrity, Enthusiasm, Creativity and Collaboration.
