Young Enterprise Birmingham and Solihull will be in The Mall on Saturday March 19 with their North Birmingham Trade Fair.

The fair on Saturday is part of the Company Programme aimed at 15 to 19 year olds who set up and run their own enterprise over the period of a year while being mentored by Young Enterprise Business Advisers.

The students are involved in all aspects of setting up and running a business, from electing a board through raising capital to presenting accounts at the end of the academic year.

Schools taking part in the fair include Sutton Coldfield Grammar School for Girls, Solihull School, Park Hall, King Edward’s and Kingsbury School.

In addition to providing the space for the fair The Mall will be giving a £50 voucher to the winning stall.

"Today, young people need to be more adaptable than ever before, and the Young Enterprise programme gives students key skills and invaluable experience of the real world of business. We hope that shoppers will come and support them in this important experience and enjoy browsing the products for sale."
