Interview with Patricia Seabright, Eureka Schools - listen now...

Patricia had the chance to explain Eureka Schools' work and concept on local radio recently. In an in-depth interview with Radio Verulam's Friday Focus presenter John Stephenson, she eloquently set out her vision on how we can help young people who find themselves out of education, employment or training to regain some sense of self-belief and a feeling of self-worth, whilst also equip them with the necessary life skills and business knowledge to help them become employable or start up a business venture of their own - thus easing the pressure on the public purse as well as giving them much-needed direction and focus for a better life.

It was very fitting that Patricia's interview was followed by a discussion with the current Minister of State for Business and Education, Mark Prisk MP.

To hear Patricia's interview, which also offers some valuable insight on the work Eureka does within primary and secondary education, listen to the podcast now.

On the radio....

Eureka will be on local radio next week!

Tune into 92.6 fm (Verulam Radio) on Friday, 19th November, at 2.30pm to listen to our very own Patricia Seabright being interviewed on the Friday Focus Show by John Stephenson.

Towards the end of Global Entrepreneurship Week, it will be a great opportunity to discuss current enterprise and business issues, with a focus on how to get young people, including those who are not currently in education, employment or training (NEET) interested and involved, too. As ever, Eureka is pleased to have the chance to explain how important it is to work with young people and to provide them with necessary business, enterprise and life skills, and how this can be achieved in an easy, fun way and relaxed environment.

See www.eurekaschools.co.uk for more information on what we believe in and how we achieve it!

5 minutes with Lord Sugar

Eureka! Came across the most fascinating interview with Lord Sugar today. A brief 5 minutes, but a frank review of his life. Lord Sugar remembers being very poor as a child, his hard teenage years and starting a business 'out the back of a van'.
Fast forward to today and he regularly appears on the Times Rich List, has been appointed to the House of Lords,where he advised the government on the Business Link and is often referred to as 'the man who revolutionised British business'.

It just goes to show - with a little bit of guidance and some self-belief and hard work, everyone can succeed, no matter what their beginnings in life!
