Year 10 Young Enterprise Event

Cross and Passion College pupils took part in successful young enterprise event today. This was a great opportunity for the pupils to learn about the marketing side of a business. Young Enterprise’s programmes offer a journey, from gaining knowledge, through to developing skills and changing attitudes, arming young people with the confidence knowledge and skills to succeed.

A big thanks to all involved including our 6th year students who helped out with running of the event.
