Our curriculum-aligned, simulation-based education (entrepreneurship in Schools) programme focuses on developing entrepreneurial mindsets in grade 2 to grade 12 learners by empowering teachers and providing innovative materials to facilitate entrepreneurial learning. Learning entrepreneurial skills at an early age will help children and teenagers to prepare for changing times and unpredictable career paths.
This programme is ideal for equipping the youth with the competencies required to tackle 21st century social– economic challenges such as unemployment, substance abuse, career choices, gender base violence and others.
