Think Enterprise was established by the Young People’s Enterprise Centre of Expertise (YPECOE). Based in the West Midlands, YPECOE carried out research and mapping which highlighted the lack of coordinated enterprise advice and support for young people. It estabished the Young People’s Enterprise Partnership (YPEP), a representative group of 16-25’s and launched the 3% campaign - to increase the number of self-employed in the 16-24 age group and to increase awareness of enterprise as part of the solution to high unemployment levels among young people. The Think Enterprise platform has been designed by young people - for young people.
