Knowsley Enterprise Academy

Knowsley Enterprise Academy (KEA) is the first purpose built Youth Enterprise Academy in the UK.  It was established in 2003 by Knowsley Development Trust and was formerly opened in 2005 by HRH Duke of Kent.

The aim of the Academy is to create a culture of enterprise throughout Knowsley by working with 11 – 25 year olds and local businesses in the borough.

Young people who attend the Academy can engage in a range of fun, exciting Enterprise programmes and activities to build up their teamworking, communication, problem solving and employability skills.

“Our son’s progress has been very good and he has a lot more confidence in himself.

He used to come home and go to his room, he now comes home and gabs the leg off us about all the things that he has done at the Academy.”
