Student Entrepreneurs in Kerry set their sights on European Entrepreneurial Final
Transition year students in the South from Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhe, Daingean Uí Chúis, Co. Kerry have set their ‘virtual’ sights on Europe this week as they make their final preparations for the All-Ireland Final of the Údarás na Gaeltachta Clár na gComhlachtaí Competition 2021 which will be held online on 22 April.
The winners of the All-Ireland Final will represent Ireland at the Junior Achievement Europe Company of the Year Competition 2021 which will also be held online in July due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Six student mini-companies from Donegal, Mayo, Galway, and Kerry will battle it out in this year’s national final. The one-day national final will see students logging in from home or school to present their businesses to the judges using a short promotional video, business plans and an in-depth interview.
‘Cártaí Feasa’ and ‘Bain Triail as Leabhair do Leanaí’ were established by students from Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne. Both won the joint honours at the Western Regional Final and both teams hope that they can impress the judges at the National Final in order to compete for European glory.
The Údarás na Gaeltachta Clár na gComhlachtaí programme is a hands-on business learning experience developed and delivered by Údarás na Gaeltachta in partnership with JA and is taught by business volunteers through the Irish language to 750 transition year pupils in Gaeltacht regions.
This is the third time that the winners of the Údarás na Gaeltachta’s Clár na gComhlachtaí will have the opportunity to participate at the European level of the competition.
