Shell LiveWIRE PNE manages the development of LiveWIRE, one of Shell's flagship CSR programmes in the UK and internationally. LiveWIRE is a Shell Social Investment programme that aims to help young people explore the option of starting their own business as a real and viable career option. Its objective is to provide support and access to guidance for young entrepreneurs and potential entrepreneurs. Young is defined specifically in each country of programme operation but is usually between the ages of 18 and 30. LiveWIRE currently operates in many countries around the world and each local country develops and manages their own programme with some choosing a local name. Each LiveWIRE country programme closely reflects local context, specific local partnerships and of course local young people. Whilst every LiveWIRE programme shares common themes it is unique in its particular country mix and approach and each programme is tailored to its host country’s own mix of opportunities, culture and situation. All programmes seek to add value to existing local policies and other initiatives providing support for the development of young people and their economic future.
