Bí Gnothach Programme

The aim of the annual Bi Gnothach programme is to promote enterprise education in 5th & 6th class at primary level.

More than 10,000 primary school students have been introduced to enterprise education since the programme started in 2005.
 The Local Enterprise Office offer materials and support to students and participating schools study what makes a business succeed.
The children first of all had to decide on their business venture.  Then they must apply for roles to be part of the Management, Finance, Marketing, Production, Sales, Quality control and Personnel teams. Within these teams, they learn and develop a whole range of skills involved in setting up a mini-business.
