VOLUNTEERS who represent companies and go into schools to help pupils with their Young Enterprise projects can now work towards a specific accreditation.

It means that advisors are quality assured via the AQA, the nationally recognised accreditation body, in partnership with Team Partnerships.

Now the first Young Enterprise volunteers to be specifically accredited have been congratulated, including Ahmed Esat and Ray Melia from United Utilities

They received their awards from Linda Booth the human resources director of United Utilities.

The representatives are employed by United Utilities but visit schools to encourage children to develop their business minds.
