Angus Events for Social Enterprise Day:
Event Title: Trading for people and the planet - how you can get involved!
About: Presentation to the ON2FEET (Onwards to Further Education, Employment and Training) group which consists of 15-17 year old school pupils.
Aim is to open pupils' minds to the opportunities available to them after leaving school. So that if their initial plans do not work out, they know there are other areas to explore.
The talk will inform listners about the benefits of pursuing a career in social enterprise and hopefully inspire the audience to consider this further.
