This month we welcome the return of an initiative called \u201cTaylor Tycoon\u201d to Taylor\u2019s First Year ICT course unit on Graphics and Marketing. Pupils are each given initial Capital of \u00a31 and are asked to apply their entrepreneurial spark to make as much money as they can from a business idea they develop either as sole traders or in partnership with other pupils. Business ideas range from Confectionery, Cake, Sweets and Stationery to Nail Painting, Customised Jewellery and a Magician! After creating unique business logos, business plans and marketing materials the extremely enthusiastic young entrepreneurs will launch their enterprises upon an unsuspecting Campus, setting up stalls in the theatre with the assistance and support of the Department\u2019s staff. This daily Bazaar is expected to create a real buzz and will surely be deemed a resounding success due to the efforts and creativity of all pupils involved. This undoubtedly will prove once again to be a thoroughly rewarding experience for First Year pupils. We will keep you updated with the contest and the final winners. Good luck to each of the First Year teams. Thanks to Mr David Lewis, Principal Teacher of BCT, and to all of his department for their co-ordination of the activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
