The 10X Challenge is a free national enterprise programme providing young people, aged 11 to 19, with first-hand experience of what it's like to be an entrepreneur. It’s a highly interactive way to develop their employability skills, build work readiness and to apply academic learning, using real money and business experience.

Young Enterprise want to ensure that every teacher and parent feels empowered and confident to unlock the potential of young entrepreneurs. Ready-to-teach resources, that can be used in the classroom and at home, are therefore provided, alongside a student-facing platform to encourage independent learning.

The essential skills icons are included on all resources such as the weekly slides, workbook and adaptation resource, and are consistently referred to throughout each resource, providing prompts and opportunities for learners to practise specific skill steps and for reflection.

At the beginning of each weekly slide deck, educators will introduce the focus skills for that week and further information for educators (e.g. regarding specific skill steps and to signpost to the Universal Framework) is detailed in the presenter notes. Students will practise and reflect on these skills throughout the slide activities but also as they are completing their workbooks.

This also ties into our adaptation resource which exists to give schools more explicit guidance for how they can run the 10X Challenge, which includes suggested adaptations, team roles and various other considerations. Crucially, this also mirrors the aformentioned resources and explicitly lays out how students can develop the essential skills during each week of the challenge, using specific language from the Universal Framework skill steps.
