King's Cross Young Enterprise Masterclass
We worked with nine of our business partners and Young Enterprise to develop an enterprise challenge for pupils in seven local schools. The King's Cross Masterclass was held in the German Gymnasium in June 2008 and involved teams of business volunteers and school pupils developing a business idea for development on a space at King's Cross Central.
After an intensive day of sessions on the development context, business planning, marketing and so on, the teams presented their proposals to a panel made up of directors from participating companies.
- 25 business volunteers involved
"It was a great success in providing an understanding of the knowledge and skills required to work within the construction industry and that the students were able to identify, explore and develop their own skills to work within the industry. The students thoroughly enjoyed the format and the location was excellent."
Teacher
"With the limited time available, I thought that the format worked really well. I know that the whole team - students and business advisers benefited from the event."
