Why Get Involved

WHY GET INVOLVED?

This is a rare opportunity to take part in a live business competition with real money and real results. It's much more than that though...

The end goal is the raise as much money for charity as possible, yet there are a huge range of other opportunities that will really develop your own skills and knowledge as well as enjoying the whole experience.

1. Enhanced employability

• Create an eye-catching and inspiring CV
• Develop your key skills through the challenge itself, as well as the Business Champions Training Day, delivered by Employer Champions PwC
• Get yourself 'headhunted'

2. Rewards & Recognition

• You will be given accreditation, endorsed by PwC, for the skills you have developed
• The competition enables you to take an idea from paper to a commercially viable product or service that will make money.

3. The 'Feel Good' Factor

• You will have raised substantial amounts of money for the chosen charity - SSE

4. You could end up with a viable business of your own

• We recognise that some ideas will have greater longevity than 3-5 months
• Any ideas can continue beyond the competition end, with the only requirement being that a sliding scale of the profits over a certain period [see T&Cs] will continue to be paid to the chosen charity.
