The Student Enterprise Awards is an exciting and rewarding programme that gives second level students in Ireland the chance to set up and run their own business while at school.

Organised by the County and City Enterprise Boards, the programme is run in schools all over Ireland for first year right up to leaving cert students.   Over 10,500 students all over the country take part in the Awards every year which culminate in a spectacular finale at the National Finals held in April.

Now in its 7th year the Student Enterprise Awards bring a taste of real life business into the classroom. Students get to experience all the realities of entrepreneurship from coming up with their business idea and writing a business plan to producing the product, research the marketing, promoting the business and managing the books.
