What is the Peter Jones Enterprise Academy?
The Peter Jones Enterprise Academy (formerly the National Enterprise Academy) was set up by Peter Jones, CBE, entrepreneur and star of “Dragon’s Den”, with a view to encouraging more entrepreneurial activity within the UK, based on a philosophy of “learning by doing”.
The Peter Jones Enterprise Academy has set out to be a catalyst for cultural change by bringing the boardroom into the classroom. It aims to equip future generations of entrepreneurs with the skills and mindset to run their own businesses, thereby supporting the future of the British economy.
The development of enterprise and entrepreneurship has previously been grossly neglected in the UK. The Peter Jones Enterprise Academy seeks to change this by giving bright, ambitious young people the chance to gain the skills and confidence to realise their business dreams.
