whakataetae pakihi rangatahi
2019-2020.
At the 3-day events in Waikato and Whangarei
students learnt about starting and running a
business. Students developed work-ready skills
and connected with local Māori entrepreneurs
who are sharing their talents, passions and
skills across Aotearoa.
We’re excited to be hosting the Rangatahi
Business Challenge in Whakatāne, Manawatu
and Rotorua later this year.

1650
students
from 33 schools have
attended a BP Business
Challenge.
We’ve already held 22 BP
Business Challenges across
the country, and there are
more to come!
At a BP Business Challenge, Year 11 students
create a virtual business concept and plan,
and then pitch to a judging panel comprised
of local business leaders.
The new 2019 challenge reflects the business
world that students will be entering so
that they can explore business ideas
starting from an issue that interests
them, and with a social enterprise
or for-profit business model.

three Teen Parent
Unit Workshops.

Units
We’ve held Teen Parent Unit Workshops
in Whangarei, Auckland and
Christchurch where students learnt
about business and entrepreneurship.
At these 2-3-day workshops, young parents
learn about starting a business, and the
fundamentals of how they might do this. The
workshops are an opportunity for them to
develop soft skills such as interviewing and
presentating to potential employers.
There are more Teen Parent Unit Workshops
to come in 2019, so stay tuned!

166
students
from 20 schools attended
a GrowingNZ Innovation
Challenge.
The GrowingNZ Innovation Challenge
Days ask Year 10 students to use
investigative research and practical
knowledge of science, technology and
business to design and prototype a
solution to a real-life situation being
faced by New Zealand’s primary sectors.
We’ve held events in Lower Hutt and Hastings,
and have more coming up in Palmerston North,
Timaru and Dunedin, but the challenge can
also be undertaken in-class using the teacher
led resource. We can’t wait to see more young
innovators solving the problems currently facing
our primary sectors.

ME ENCES
Entrepreneurs in Action – an annual highlight for YES students (and staff) – brought 80 of our most passionate students to compete in two back-to-back business challenges with scholarships and overseas business experiences up for grabs! 16 YES Mid-Year Impact Report 2019
The Challenge 1 sponsor, Ministry for Primary Industries, tasked
the students with creating a solution to reduce waste and/or create
added value from waste in the fruit production industry. In the NZTE
Challenge, students developed a market entry strategy to a Latin
American country for a Dunedin-based SaaS company.
Team Uprise Digital took out both challenges and in doing so,
each team member won $7000 from Massey University and an
overseas business experience with LatAm Biz to Chile, thanks to the
Latin America Centre for Asia-Pacific Excellence. Eight individual
students also scored a LatAm Biz adventure based on their personal
performance throughout the weekend – they’ll be off to Brazil in
December!
The weekend would not have been possible without the ten fantastic
companies who hosted and mentored the students over the course of
the weekend. Thanks to:
“What we were doing at EIA was something I could see
myself doing as a career, and it provided me with some
real experience that you just can't get at school!”

our alumni. We want to enable and foster a vibrant
network that celebrates achievement and creates
opportunities for YES alumni after their time
participating in a Young Enterprise programme,
and well into their professional careers.
In typical Young Enterprise fashion,
we’re juggling a few new initiatives To get things started we’ve established an Alumni
Advisory Group and are excited to be holding our

VOLUNTEERS: YES depends largely on
the time and effort of thousands of generous
volunteers every year. Therefore, it seems only fair
that we look for ways to engage, prepare, support
and celebrate the amazing people that make what
we do possible!
THOUGHT LEADERS: YES works with youth,
for youth and is constantly aiming to do bigger and
better in this space. We’ve been active in improving
how we listen to and understand our young people,
so we can continue to play a lead role in creating
and sharing best practice for the development of
mindsets and skillsets.
24 YES Mid-Year Impact Report 2019IT’S BUSINESS TIME
CONFERENCE 2019
Every two years YES holds an event
for another one of our key stakeholder
groups – our teachers.
It’s Business Time (IBT) is a 2-day showcase
of NZ business stories and ideas curated to
complement the YES programme and current
curriculum, and is designed to help educators
bring innovation and entrepreneurship alive in
the classroom.
IBT bridges the gap between the education
and corporate worlds, and is an opportunity for
educators to learn about what businesses are
looking for in potential employees, so that they
can better prepare young Kiwis for life outside
of school.
