Oxfordshire Young Enterprise County Finals

Laura Walton

OCC are very proud to continue our support of Young Enterprise in Oxfordshire. Young Enterprise is the United Kingdom’s largest business and enterprise education charity. Every year they help 250,000 young people learn about business and the world of work in the classroom under the guidance of volunteers from 3,500 companies.

This year saw 550 young people aged 15 to 19+ set up 43 teams/companies, from 35 schools and colleges from across the county take part in the Young Enterprise Oxfordshire County Finals, on the 3rd May 2012. The contest enables youngsters to form companies, come up with business ideas, and then bring their product to market.

Congratulations to all this year’s finalist and winners, especially to Team Dimension form Oxford Spires Academy, winners of The Oxford Computer Consultants Award for the best use of online media, who really harnessed the power of YouTube and created a memorable piece of marketing.
