Last week Enrichment Partnership visited Leeds East Academy where we spent two hours with their Y10 students going through the basics of Becoming an Entrepreneur.
Sasha Buchanan, Student Experience and Events shared her experience of the talk led by Natalie Reeve “I thought the lecture provided some amazing ideas for the students to enjoy. They certainly took new ideas away and enjoyed the session that followed!! Natalie came across so well. I particularly liked when she pinpointed a boy to use as a demonstration for his business intentions (scaffolding), and regularly returned to this example throughout. This gave all students a linked and working example to consider, making what would otherwise be jargon make sense to them in their own worlds. They loved when she used examples that they understand and enjoyed the chances to share their own business ideas. Thank you both so much for the incredible opportunity and knowledge imparted.”
Natalie, who was the trainer for this session said “The feedback was very positive, and I had a number of students come up to me at the end to ask about their business ideas, how to get started and what qualifications they might need.”
Thanks Leeds East Academy for having us, and I look forward to seeing your businesses grow!
