Where we work: Various high schools across Greater Manchester
What is involved?
The Mosaic Enterprise Challenge is a fully-funded competition designed to increase young people’s understanding of business concepts and how they can apply them. Interaction with mentors helps build the students’ confidence, employability and self-efficacy. Where appropriate, mentors should be willing to share their own understanding of business, providing insights into ethical and responsible operations in the working world. Successful teams will be invited to compete regionally and nationally to design and pitch for a social enterprise idea which could be used in their school. The winning teams will receive up to £2500 seed funding to bring their vision to life.

What is involved?
Effective mentoring programmes can boost participants’ aspirations, confidence, self-belief and motivation. Crucially, mentoring programmes enhance participants ‘soft skills’- personality traits, social graces, communication, language, personal habits, friendliness, and optimistic outlook – which are increasingly important for success at school and in the current job market. A team of mentors is assigned to one school and a group of approximately 25 students. Each mentor will work with a smaller sub-group of 3-6 students.
