Charity Director – inTurn Young Entrepreneur Competition

"Dorset has a great wealth of successful business people that have all had help and advice to start their careers and in turn are keen to inspire the next generation of budding entrepreneurs."

The Overview

The inTurn Young Entrepreneur Competition is more than just a contest; it's an opportunity to learn, grow, and collaborate. You'll take part in an exclusive in-house business training day, where you'll gain invaluable insights from seasoned business leaders. They'll share their stories of success and the challenges they've faced, providing you with practical tips and advice to help you navigate your entrepreneurial path.

One of the highlights of this experience is the chance to showcase your talents at the upcoming Gillingham and Shaftesbury Show. This prestigious event will allow you to present your innovative products and ideas to a wider audience, gaining exposure and feedback that is crucial for your growth as an entrepreneur.
