MICRO-TYCO
Each team that takes part in this entrepreneurial training programme will receive £1 seed capital and will have 30 days to grow this into as much money as possible. At the end of November, the top performing 200 pupils will be offered a place on Deloitte’s ASPIRE work experience programme and be supported to apply for Deloitte’s BrightStart programme.
100% of the money generated by Micro-Tyco teams during the challenge is used to fund microloans across the developing world. This helps poor micro-entrepreneurs to launch businesses and work their own way out of poverty with dignity. Participants become entrepreneurs to fund entrepreneurs.
