Young Enterprise Northern Ireland has announced a strategic partnership with Queen's University Belfast, making the university the Lead Educational Partner for its Company Programme.
The programme allows young people aged 15-19 to set up and run their own real business, and the collaboration will strengthen pathways for young entrepreneurs to develop their skills and confidence.
The partnership builds on a long-standing relationship between Young Enterprise NI and the university, where previous programme alumni have gone on to participate in Queen's enterprise and innovation initiatives.
The new partnership will enable the Company Programme to continue to flourish, providing opportunities for young entrepreneurs to develop their skills from school through to higher education and beyond.
