Yarborough School Business Champions
As Lincoln’s Business and Enterprise Specialist School, they strive to develop the enterprising abilities of our students. They are currently looking for individuals and organisations to link with the educational opportunities they provide. Students benefit from seeing the ‘real’ business world immensely – all Post 16 students at Yarborough School now have the option to study for a BTEC National Level qualification in Entrepreneurship starting in September 2010. The aim is to link units with ‘real’ businesses who could offer mentorship, workshops and case studies. In return your business would become a Yarborough School Business Champion and receive a whole host of benefits!
To find out more please come and see them this week at the Lincolnshire Show – stand D10 in the Discovery Zone. Mention this e-shot and receive a free advertisement in their school newsletter reaching over 1000 homes!
