EDUCATION 4 ENTERPRISE

Northpower sponsors the Education 4 Enterprise (E4E) programme helping to provide support systems for ten secondary schools across the Whangarei and Kaipara districts. Each year the E4E initiative continues to grow, with new schools joining the innovative, enterprising line up each year.

Schools involved include:-

Ruawai College
Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o te Rawhiti Roa
Kamo Christian School
Otamatea College
Bream Bay College
Pompallier Catholic College
Whangarei Boys’ High School
Whangarei Girls’ High School
Tikipunga High School
Kamo High School

Starting in 1999 with the Young Enterprise Scheme (YES), run by the Enterprise New Zealand Trust, Enterprise Northland gained funding support from New Zealand Trade and Enterprise for two pilot programmes which are unique to Northland – the Young Entrepreneur Programme (YEP) and the Northland Enterprising Teachers project (NET). These programmes have developed into the Northland Education 4 Enterprise project.

Northpower’s support enables enterprise and innovation to have real status in the schools and ensures the programmes are delivered effectively.

E4E Regional Coordinator David Templeton has attributes much of the phenomenal growth in E4E to the support of Northpower.

Northpower believes in encouraging enterprise and is proud to be a part of such a great initiative.
