Public benefits
The direct benefits that flow from the purposes of Young Enterprise Northern Ireland include enhanced enterprise and entrepreneurship skills and knowledge for beneficiaries, allowing them to maximize their ability to demonstrate employability skills and capability for the work place. The benefits also include increased awareness and understanding,
among beneficiaries, of the importance of employability & enterprise skills (communication; creativity; innovation; teamwork; financial capability; negotiation) and their value to potential employers; increased awareness of career pathways and options open to beneficiaries; enhanced ability for beneficiaries to make informed career decisions; increased awareness of the option of self-employment and entrepreneurship as potential career pathways. The overall objective is to increase the level of employability and entrepreneurial skills in the beneficiaries who represent the future workforce. The benefits to society are young people who are better skilled and prepared for employment and have increased prospect of improved socio-economic outcomes. These benefits can be demonstrated through direct feedback from the young people involved in the programmes delivered by Young Enterprise Northern Ireland, and from teachers, volunteers and youth workers facilitating their involvement; attendance and participation records of young people participating in initiatives; training records and qualifications gained; and young people’s personal stories and reflections. Evaluation of & feedback from programme alumni demonstrate impact in the longer term. Independent evaluations of programmes are completed at NI and UK level by third party organisations, as part of our wider involvement in the Junior Achievement Worldwide charity network. There is no harm or possibility of harm arising from the purposes of the organisation. The beneficiaries are young people in Northern Ireland between the ages of 4 and 25 years. Volunteers who support our programmes may derive private benefit by way of enhancement of their personal and professional development. This is incidental and necessary to the achievement of the purpose and ensuring beneficiaries receive benefit from their mentoring support. Educators may gain private benefit through enhanced awareness of enterprise skills and linkages with local business. This is incidental and necessary to ensure benefit is provided to the beneficiaries by supporting their involvement in the programmes.
