What is the National Enterprise Academy?
The National Enterprise Academy (NEA) was the brainchild of Dragons Den entrepreneur Peter Jones CBE and offers 16 - 19 year olds the first ever full-time education program in enterprise and entrepreneurship.
The NEA program offers young aspiring entrepreneurs a unique opportunity to learn the skills and approach needed to be a success in the modern business world.
Why the National Enterprise Academy?
The desire amongst young people to set up their own businesses has never been stronger.
TV show's such as Dragon's Den and The Apprentice lay down a challenge and young entrepreneurs like the founders of Innocent Smoothies and Facebook show it can be done successfully. Peter Jones founded the National Enterprise Academy because he is passionate about developing the talents of the next generation of aspiring entrepreneurs.
You can offer your children and/or students the choice when they are thinking about sixth form to take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn directly from experienced business professionals and ‘real life' entrepreneurs.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown has heralded the NEA and the contribution it will make to develop the enterprise knowledge and culture needed to build the UK's competitiveness.
