Mini Company Get up and Go

The Transition Year ‘Get up and Go’ programme is designed for use with Transition Year students who are aged 15 – 16 years of age.
The programme works to develop skills and attitudes, which will enhance young people to become active participants in enterprise education. These aims reflect the general aims of the Transition Year Programme, namely to foster maturity, development of new skills, and linking the school with local community.
