Apex Hotels host Lothian Launch Live event to support budding young entrepreneurs
Lothian Launch Live, a special training event for young entrepreneurs organised by Young Enterprise Lothian, will be hosted at the Apex Grassmarket Hotel in Edinburgh on Saturday 21st September, between 9am-1pm.
The special event will host a range of workshops and skills programmes to support young people in business, ranging from business planning and marketing to teamwork and budgeting.
One of the highlights will be a Dragon’s Den style workshop where young people can pitch their business ideas to seasoned entrepreneurs. Panel members include Pete McLean, Business Growth Consultant from Bright Red Triangle, a hub for innovation and enterprise practice at Edinburgh Napier University.
This event is one of a range of learning and development initiatives supported by Apex Hotels, who are proactive in helping young people develop their careers in hospitality and tourism.
This includes providing work experience opportunities for students through Edinburgh City Council’s Job, Education and Training (JET) programme and support for Young Enterprise’s Business Mentor Programme, where employees help young people develop business skills.
Other employment programmes and charities supported by the group include Springboard, Diversity & Inclusion Jobs, Youth Friendly Employer, Young Persons Guarantee Employer and Street League.
