YES, the Golden Vale Young Entrepreneurs Scheme is just ten years old. Since it was set up the "largest student enterprise competition in Ireland" has grown to see some 300 second-level institutions and 900 students throughout the country take part. Participants are encouraged to come up with an innovative idea and develop it into a viable business. Golden Vale YES begins in September each year and ends with an award ceremony in Dublin at the end of the following April. Details from www.yes.ie or telephone Golden Vale at 01 6335000.
