Descriptions

The Llwyddo’n Lleol programme is an innovative scheme which has been developed to foster a culture of enterprise amongst young people. This is an invitation to tender for the development and implementation of a series of sector specific activities. The target beneficiaries for this particular activity – Sector Specific Events in Gwynedd will be Year 9 Secondary School students, and Post 16 Further Education students. The aim of this activity is to strengthen the core message of the programme – that local communities can offer a vibrant future to young people, in terms of employment, or self employment opportunities and lifestyle, and to draw particular attention to self-employment and venture creation as viable and exiting career choices. Specific growth sectors in each county will be promoted during the events. Throughout the Sector Specific Events, the objectives are to:* Raise awareness – reinforce young people’s understanding and knowledge of enterprise and the career opportunities and support available to them locally. Promote key entrepreneurial skills that young people need to succeed locally both in employment and self-employment. * Attitude – to expose young people to good roles models which challenge career stereotypes, particularly with regards to gender* Perceptions – challenge negative perceptions and promote rural areas which can offer a great deal to young people It is foreseen that a series of events will be held in Gwynedd between 2010 – 2013. Each event will concentrate on a different growth sector within the economy of Gwynedd.
