Newport Gwent Dragons player Adam Hughes was the centre of attention when he launched the Young Enterprise Wales Gwent Annual Christmas Fayre. Nine schools took part in the event staged at Newport Indoor Market. Adam, a Wales Under 20 centre, is pictured with Rougemont School pupils Charlotte Pelosi and Emma Davies.
Each year, thousands of young people in Wales get a head start on their working lives while they are still at school or university. They do this by taking part in a Young Enterprise programme where they gain knowledge and skills for business and enterprise either through a series of workshops and seminars or through setting up and running their own real company.
The Christmas Fayre is an ideal “shopwindow” for the companies run by Gwent-based pupils to market and sell their products and services.
