We rely on fundraising events to raise the vital funds needed to support our network of over 780 education providers across the UK. We host a Clay Pigeon Shooting, a Golf Day and a Day of Track Racing, all hosted by Peter Jones CBE. If you are interested in attending or supporting by way of donating an auction prize, or attending one of our events then would love to hear from you. Your support goes a long way in spreading enterprise education across the UK.

Tycoon aims to encourage the nation’s budding entrepreneurs and develop core enterprise skills. Tycoon is a national enterprise competition for students aged 6 to 18. Students across the UK are given the opportunity to work in teams to develop and run a business through the support of the Foundation. Tycoon businesses have access to a good will loan and compete against different schools.

We welcome organisations to sponsor one of our skills badges, learners’ progress against our framework of eight enterprise skills. Through these badges, we recognise learners’ progress and development through their education. Skills Badges offer a fantastic opportunity for an organisation to be at the heart of our programmes, supporting students and making a positive impact on the employability of young people across the UK.

As an individual or as part of a team you can support our face-to-face initiatives in schools across the UK, helping to further enterprise education. There are many ways to get involved, such as Business Surgeries and Day In The Life talks that take place every term. There are also opportunities to get involved virtually in the form of world-class mentoring, career workshops and idea generation sessions which teaches young people key business skills.

We engage our students by challenging them to complete tasks based in the real world of work. From solving supply chain issues, to developing a new Gen Z marketing campaign, you can insert your brand into our curriculum, inspire the next generation of business leaders, and link learning to earning. These hand on challenges are a great benefit to the students as it provides real-life experience and practical business development tools.

Our flagship programmes such as the Tycoon Enterprise Competition and Empower Alumni Programme, engage thousands of students each year, focusing on those from under-served and under-represented communities. These programmes can provide a unique platform for organisations who share our passion for supporting the entrepreneurship of young people.
