As part of taking NCEA Business Studies, our students participate in the Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) where they plan, run and review a business from scratch. Many have gone on to become successful beyond the programme including Xero, MOXX Brands and Hatch.
Some of our Level 3 groups have adults in their target market for their business, and they would love to hear your thoughts on their ideas through their market research surveys. Each takes less than two minutes to complete, and offer prizes for valuable and insightful feedback!
If you have a moment, please support our students by sharing your opinions via the links below, and help them become the next YES success story!
