Year 13 Business Studies students Itaia Chapman and John Pupualii have been selected to represent Otago Boys’ High School and the Otago region at the Young Enterprise Scheme Young Navigators 2024.

Young Navigators reframes entrepreneurship by encouraging students to embrace culture as a guiding force of business. This opportunity is tailored to ignite the potential within young Māori and Pasifika entrepreneurs, challenging students to find innovative solutions to real world business challenges. 

It is a three day journey of connection and leadership. Young Navigators empowers the young indigenous leaders of Aotearoa to celebrate and harness their cultural heritage as they grow into the future decision makers of New Zealand. 

Itaia and John will embark on a journey of connection, and leadership to tackle a real world business challenge, all while having a blast collaborating with other innovative young leaders like themselves.
