About the opportunity
Young Enterprise Trust provides a range of enterprise and financial literacy resources to New Zealand schools, with the aim of developing students with an enterprising attitude.
The YET Enterprise in Action event is a national event for 78 students. Held over two days, 10 teams are given two 24-hour business challenges. Each team is mentored by a company or organisation.
Check out the website articles below to see what our past LN mentors and students had to say about the event.

Some feedback from previous years:
I am so glad I said yes to being a mentor for EIA 2022. Overall, the three days left me feeling invigorated, motivated, and hopeful for our next generation of leaders. – Hannah Duder
Being able to give back to the network through "paying it forward" (Oh, alright, we still snagged bragging rights given our team's win over the weekend!) was something which enticed me to join as a mentor for EIA 2022 – Anna Zam
I am impressed and inspired once again by our young leaders. It is amazing to see such a high calibre of students that are also so willing to learn, not only from the mentors but also from each other – Celeste Peh
