 Our next case study for the Young People Are Great campaign is from Arthur Derrick. Arthur is a student at Orkney College UHI, on the Future Tracks course. As part of this course, students take part in the Young Enterprise Team Programme, setting up a company and developing and selling a product. This year’s Future Track students set up their business, The Three Puffketeers, which sold tech bags for storing cables and small tech items at home or while travelling. The team achieved the Best Logo Award and Best Overall Company Award at the Young Enterprise Scottish Finals last week. Tell us about your current job role or qualification.
