MY ENTREPRENEURIAL JOURNEY COMPETITION 23/24
What will your business be???…….. Will you make your first million by the time you’re 30???…
Let your imagination run wild and tell us the ups, downs and in-betweens of your life as an entrepreneur by entering the ‘My Entrepreneurial Journey’ Competition
How Does The Competition Work?
Students get to imagine their life as an entrepreneur at a future stage of their life – it can be in 5 years, 10 years or 40 years’ time!
Students must imagine themselves as having set up a business and then tell us their story of how they became an entrepreneur, highlighting what they learned along the way about being an entrepreneur and the realities of setting up and running a business.
Students must complete the following four elements to enter:
(1) WRITE an account of their entrepreneurial life story in no more than 500 words
(2) DESIGN an A3 poster as a visual display/storyboard of their imagined entrepreneurial journey. This should be the story of their business, based on the 10 point enterprise plan.
(3) INTERVIEW a local entrepreneur in the community to learn about what is involved in setting up and running a business.
(4) REFLECT – complete a Reflection Sheet.
This competition is designed specifically to tie in with CBAs in the Junior Cycle Business Specification
How To Enter?
