YOUNG entrepreneurs in Scotland are preparing for a two day business festival in Glasgow.
Young Enterprise Scotland’s Festival of Youth Enterprise – which will be held at Hampden Park on June 5 and 6 – celebrates the achievements of young people in social enterprise activities in school, and encourages them to consider a business career in the future.
Young people will get the chance to network with potential employers and representatives from colleges and universities, will hear from successful young business leaders, and will also get the chance to showcase their own products in the Festival Marketplace.
Young Enterprise Scotland (YES) aims to inspire young people by equipping them with skills to learn and succeed through enterprise.
YES chief executive Geoff Leask said: “Last year we hosted the first ever Festival of Youth Enterprise and this year – in the Year of Young People – it’s going to be even bigger and better.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
