New Marking Scheme for 2019/20

Here's How SEP works with Junior Cycle Business

The Student Enterprise Programme

The Student Enterprise Programme, an initiative run by the Network of Local Enterprise Offices of Ireland, is Ireland’s largest and most successful student enterprise programme with over 26,000 second level students taking part each year.

Students from 1st year to 6th year get to set up and run their own business and find out what it’s really like to be an entrepreneur by taking part in this 8 month long enterprise education learning programme.

The Programme runs from September to May, and students get to do everything a real life entrepreneur would do from coming up with the business idea to marketing, sales and preparing a business plan.

At the end of the Programme in May, one student business from each region gets to compete at the National Final in Dublin for the ‘Student Enterprise of the Year’ award.

#FridayFlashback - so much market action whizzing by these days! This day last week an epic 70+ stands with the best that Limerick #studententerprise had to offer, made a splash at The Milk Market, Limerick.
Super bargains were had! Many gift ideas were on show.

Thank you sooo much to the teams in Whizzkids Summer Camps & Clubs, Local Enterprise Office Limerick and The Milk Market for sharing the buzz, excitement and photos from the day - We hope you like our compilation.
