Teenage entrepreneurs from St Wolstan’s Community School in Celbridge will represent County Kildare at this year’s Student Enterprise Programme National Final.
The announcement was made today by Local Enterprise Office (LEO) Kildare.
"Our national finalists are excellent ambassadors for the programme and we wish them the very best of luck in May."
Ms McNabb continued: "What our students are learning from the programme is that with the right supports and encouragement, they can take an idea from the classroom and develop it into a real-life business."
"The skills they learn along the way, such as business planning, market research, selling and teamwork, will help them become more entrepreneurial throughout their future careers," she concluded.
The enterprise education initiative, funded by the government of Ireland through Enterprise Ireland and delivered by the 31 LEOs in local authorities throughout the country, saw over 28,000 students from just under 500 secondary schools across the country take part in 2022/2023.
The programme supports students to create, design and market their own business, all with the hope of reaching the National Final.
In the Senior Category of the competition, Kildare will be represented by Tandy Hand from St Wolstan’s Community School in Celbridge.
