What is Enterprise Challenge?

Enterprise Challenge is a free inter-school competition for 11–16-year-olds.

Delivered in school by King's Trust staff and volunteers, young people take part in a series of challenges.

In teams of 3-5, young people play our online business simulation game. They then work with their mentor to create and deliver their business pitch.

Delivery of the programme is flexible and can be adapted to the needs of your learners.
