Young Enterprise in RSD Each year, 25 pupils in Lower Sixth in RSD are offered the opportunity to set up and run their own company for the duration of the school year. This provides a real insight into the world of business as it is the pupils themselves who take on the role of Directors, sell shares to raise capital, carry out market research, contact suppliers, keep financial accounts and make all the major decisions. A Business Advisor from a local firm is attached to each company and their role is to provide advice and assistance where necessary. Young Enterprise members are also given the opportunity to study for an OCR Level 2 Certificate in Enterprise. Young Enterprise RSD 07/08 – MYNT -Member of MYNT:
