Bublshop is excited to introduce its inaugural Intern Young Entrepreneur competition for students who are interested in learning about the competitive world of business.
Our aim is to promote potential entrepreneurs – young people in the local community with an interest in pursuing a career in business.
Students will create a business strategy to buy and sell a product (no matter what it is!) at the Gillingham & Shaftsbury Show in August.
You’ll then take part in a business start-up day at Bublshop prior to the show and you’ll also have the opportunity to hear from local business leaders.
You’ll develop your own business strategies, with input and support from Bublshop and showcase your entrepreneurial skills at the Gillingham & Shaftsbury show. Show visitors will have the opportunity to visit your stall and purchase from you. The winner will be the student who generates the most profit.
