It offers schools a chance to give recognition to a student who has set up and run their own business. Many of the schools who entered the competition held an “Enterprise Day” where the students designed, made and sold their products. The school then chose their winner from all the students who participated. This often proved very difficult as the wealth of business talent was exceptional. The awards were presented at a ceremony in the Tullamore Court Hotel on Monday, May 23 by Pat O’Gorman a member of the Local Enterprise Office Evaluations Committee. Mr. O’Gorman praised the students and their teachers and parents for all the hard work that went into the student enterprises and encouraged the students to continue with their business ideas and reminded them that all great businesses start off as an idea and with hard work can turn into a business that can grow and employ people. Mary McIntyre from Offaly Local Enterprise Office told the students how delighted she was to meet Offaly’s next generation of entrepreneurs. She said she was very impressed with the products, displays and business skills. She reminded them that through the Most Enterprising Student Initiative, they would have learnt so much including: Business Planning, market research, marketing and team work which will help them in their future careers and hopefully, for some of them it will encourage them to consider self-employment as a career choice. The children who were nominated had the opportunity to display their products at the
