Great that the Deputy First Minister @niexecutive was able to meet Young Enterprise students and hearing from them the value of the work the charity delivers. Critical to support young people develop skills for future success in work and life.

Thanks to Deputy First Minister @niexecutive for spending with the student to see first hand the value and impact of the work the charity delivers. No shortage of skills or enthusiasm with our Young Enterprise students.
