Sheffield schools enterprise challenge

"BiG: Make it Your Business" is a set of business support activities that aims to boost enterprise in Sheffield by helping more people to set up in business, support sustainable business growth and increase the success rate of locally-owned businesses in Sheffield.

The BiG Challenge is a competition for budding entrepreneurs across Sheffield’s schools. Teams of pupils are given startup cash to set up and run their own business over a six month period. Their aim is to increase that amount by as much as possible & teams are judged on teamwork, innovation and entrepreneurship.

We work with social networking experts andymayer.net to help create the online resource for the teams, where they blog about their progress and are kept informed about project milestones.
