Young Enterprise Scheme

The Hawkes Bay Chamber of Commerce co-ordinates the Lion Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme  in Hawkes Bay secondary schools for students at year 12 or 13.

YES is not just an academic course but an experiential business programme where students set up their own company, create real products or services, develop real budgets, implement real marketing plans, earn real money and keep real profits.

The year is a relevant and exciting journey that culminates in regional and national award ceremonies.
 

Regional winner for 2011:

Elite Enterprises - Taradale High School

The regional winner for 2011 was Elite from Taradale High School who produced a range of handcreams with flavours of iconic Hawkes Bay attractions. They worked with Weleda to produce bio-dynamic creams such as Sileni Winery – Rose with a rose and raspberry scent, St Andrews Limes with a lime scent and Florian Cafe – Jaffa Gelato with a Choc Orange scent.   The team will now travel to Wellington in early December to present their product at the National Award celebrations.
