SCHOOLS in Plymouth have a week left to register for this year's Make Your Mark Challenge.

The Make Your Mark Challenge is the UK's biggest, live one-day enterprise competition on November 16 with more than 50,000 students already signed up.

Among them are 60 students from City College Plymouth, 45 students from Plymouth College and 54 students from Devonport High School for Girls.

Registration for this year's challenge closes on November 9. The challenge will encourage participating students to come up with innovative business ideas, and to consider their environmental impact.

Free to enter, it offers teachers a 'fun and rewarding way to engage their students in an enterprising way'.

The competition is designed for students aged 14-19 and aims to improve their enterprise capabilities including risk-taking, creativity, financial planning and communication.

It's part of the Make Your Mark campaign to increase entrepreneurial behaviour among young people.
