The finals take place on Thursday May 8th
Kildare County Council’s Local Enterprise Office has announced that teenage entrepreneurs from Salesian College in Celbridge will represent Kildare at this year’s Student Enterprise Programme National Final on Thursday 8th May.
The students participated in the County Final on 27th February, held at the Killashee Hotel in Naas.
A total of 125 students from 14 schools took part in the annual programme.
The team, named ‘Medieval Mayhem’, consists of Emmett Villing (Financial and Assistant Marketing Manager), Kyerin Hunter (Managing Director), Charlie Kavanagh (Artist and Marketing Manager) and Henley Chacko (Production Manager).
Supported by their teacher Michael Greene, they impressed the judges with their self-illustrated and strategy-based card game.
The enterprise education initiative, funded by the Government of Ireland through Enterprise Ireland and delivered by the 31 Local Enterprise Offices in local authorities throughout the country, saw over 28,000 students take part in 2024/2025.
The programme supports students in creating, designing, and marketing their own businesses, all with the hope of reaching the National Final.
The local students will be competing for the title of ‘Student Enterprise of the Year’ against hundreds of other student entrepreneurs from all over Ireland at the Student Enterprise Programme National Final, taking place in the Mullingar Park Hotel on the 8th of May.
