The courses, designed and delivered by Lancashire based Geminus Training, include fun and interactive workshops that will also develop additional skills such as communication, creativity and presenting.

Coun Mark Smith, cabinet member for regeneration, enterprise and economic development, said: “We really want to encourage young people who perhaps are the budding entrepreneurs of the future.

“This programme is a great source of information and support which will help anyone in this age group understand business basics before making career choices.”
