TEENAGERS will be given tips on how to become entrepreneurs at a special masterclass next week.

Young Enterprise Wyre Forest, which aims to teach youngsters the skills they need to succeed in the modern business world, is expecting more than 70 high school students at the event.

The day-long masterclass on entrepreneurship includes team tasks and will focus on the skills needed to succeed in the 21st century.

Two award winners will provide a spark of inspiration to add to the learning process.

Sammie Rose and Lynne Hunt, who run management and training companies, will be passing on advice on how to achieve success, having won Wyre Forest Business Club awards last year.

One of the organisers Neil Blackford, small business manager with Kidderminser's HSBC Bank, said: "The masterclass is a golden opportunity for young people to get first-hand knowledge of the qualities needed to carve out a successful career."

The event is at Kidderminster Harriers Executive Suite on Tuesday.
