Aparima College teacher Lynne Grove believes the Young Enterprise programme is capable of changing lives.

In fact, she has heaps of stories of how business education has already changed the lives of her rural students — like one who’s working at a big accounting firm in Australia, or the students whose business has been getting native tree planted all over Southland.
