Enterprise Education

Developed by Coca-Cola Enterprises, The Real Business Challenge (RBC) is a national competition for Year 10 students. It is free and gives learners the opportunity of working on a live project alongside business mentors from one of the world’s leading brands. The challenge aims to develop a broad range of skills for greater employability and entrepreneurial flair for participating students.

We will facilitate work experience for young people via our 60 plus tenant businesses in our two Business Centres, we will also seek out opportunities for young people to interact with the 30 local well established businesses who sponsor our Agency, we will provide advice and training for students who are thinking of setting up business on a free coaching session to help them in a (Group) coaching session for 2 hours with a free Business Plan CD for each person who attends. About every two years we renew our Colbea Start Up Guide. This November will be renewing our guide and copies of our new Start Up Guide will be available for distribution to young people to support this initiative
