About this path
The Youth Enterprise LaunchPad is a guided programme for students, national service personnel and graduates who want to create their own work. It runs in five stages: Decide, Find, Start, Run and Grow.
At the end of each stage you complete an evidence task, so you finish the programme with real customers, real records and a business you can register and fund.
