A registered Charity in Scotland, with limited liability, we have operated throughout Scotland for over 30 years, during this time we have worked with schools, educationalists and business volunteers to deliver practical learning programmes designed to provide young people with a real-life experience of the world of business, employment and economics.

Once known for operating a single programme the Company Programme with associated activities, we have substantially changed over the past three years, complementing the Scottish Executive’s major initiative relating to Enterprise in Education. Our vision is to enable all young people in Scotland access to this valuable learning experience preparing them for their future participation
in the labour market and as inclusive citizens.

We have dramatically widened our portfolio of programmes and can now be considered an umbrella type organisation working with all students including those who are disengaged with school and those who are not achieving their full potential. We are also operating out with the standard school environment particularly in Young Offenders Institution and secure residential establishments.

In the 2005/06 academic year we engaged with over 41,770 young people providing 541,980 hours of contact time. We are currently working to extend this further to engage young people, especially those marginalised through lack of engagement and attainment with their schooling, to support them in progressing to further education, training or employment.
