Enterprise Challenges
These one-day team events are designed to introduce students to the concept of enterprise.
Hosted at a school or external venue with teams from different schools, the challenges are aimed at Year 10 students and are designed to highlight issues that face companies such as staffing, marketing, production and finance.
The students are given the opportunity to use their individual talents and teamwork to find a solution to a task and to present their results to a panel of judges. The challenge may include practical skills, problem solving, decision making and presentation skills.
