Northern Regional College students are taking part in workshops creating commercially viable business ideas to improve their local area.
The Rye Rural Youth Entrepreneurship programme is an innovative project designed to help young people make a real difference in their community.
Funded by the Northern Periphery Programme it helps remote communities on the northern margins of Europe to develop the economic, social and environmental potential.
Delivered by Advantage NI, the programme helps young people to develop core skills and capabilities for enterprising and employability.
Irvine Abraham, economic engagement manager at NRC said: “This programme links us with students from Finland and the Faroe Islands. The students have the opportunity to participate in this series of idea generation workshops introducing the concepts of entrepreneurship and using enterprise skills to inspire young people to realise their entrepreneurial potential.”
