What does Wandsworth Youth Enterprise Centre do?

Wandsworth Youth Enterprise Centre (WYEC) has a 20 year track record of providing enterprise awareness, business counselling, training and incubation support to young people aged 14 – 30 within London.

Its mission is to ‘tackle unemployment, social exclusion and lack of opportunities for young people, by reaching out into the community to support and enable them to become enterprising’.

The model has been recognised and acknowledged abroad; it has been adapted and transferred across regions in the UK (Scottish Highlands, Birmingham and London) and in Europe (Hungary, Slovakia and Poland). Exploratory liaisons are taking place in ASEAN regions and across Africa.
