LEO Inspiring Young People…

An important part of LEO’s legacy will be its work with local young people.

LEO currently works with all secondary schools in Ashfield, Bolsover and Mansfield through its Enterprise Academy programme. Our aim - to foster business and enterprise skills to both educators and young people in Year Nine.

The LEO Enterprise Academy is delivered by Mansfield-based ‘no limits’ - an organisation experienced in, and passionate about, developing learning that raises the aspirations and achievement of young people and helps to equip them for the challenges of the business world.

LEO Enterprise Coaches play a valuable role in supporting young people in the
Enterprise Challenge Programme.
