LEAP is a registered charity that enables students to set up their own companies for a school year, learning business skills, teamwork and problem solving, and gaining confidence and ‘employability’ skills. We guarantee the students will be more confident for their university and job interviews.

The students (aged 11 to 19) must raise their own share capital, choose and make or buy a product, write a business plan and market the product. At the end of the year they have to present their Company and its results to a panel of Business Advisers and write an Annual Report with financial accounts.
