Youth Enterprise
Striding Out specialises in supporting young entrepreneurs aged 16-30.
We use professional coaching tools and techniques to unleash their ideas.
Coaching gives them confidence in their skills and abilities to develop their own business.
If you haven't experienced coaching, now is the time to try it out!
Coaching is an important addition and distinctly different to generic business advice and training that you may also access. 
We provide support to a wide range of young people, including those in secondary, further and higher education, the unemployed, the disadvantaged, as well as young professionals.
We can offer young entrepreneurs the chance to engage with:-
- Monthly Networking Events to inspire and connect them.
- Training Workshops to develop their skills
- Business Coaching to equip them with the skills to succeed
- Institute of Leadership and Management Qualifications to accredit their learning and enhance their CV
