For enterprising school kids.

KidPreneur is an action-based programme that emphasizes development of entrepreneurship and vocational competencies at an early stage of life. Through this program children uncover their true vocation and develop skills such as idea generation, creativity, teamwork, communication and sales. The programme activities are built over a strong foundation of generating income through use of various vocational skills (sewing and embroidery, jewellery making, knitting and crocheting, weaving, woodworking, animation and programming). Furthermore, learning the value of money, how to use it, how to invest it and how to save it.

  • Boost self-confidence and stimulate self-awareness by uncovering vocational strengths and applying them to real life entrepreneurial projects.
  • Develop teamwork, leadership and communications skills through games and dynamics that simulate real life business situations.

  • Develop basic managerial skills necessary to start a business; gain competency in entrepreneurial thinking and understand all elements of the entrepreneurial process.

 

Programme Content

The KidPreneur programme targets young students at primary school level, ages 6-12 years. The objective of KidPreneur programme is to instil a spirit of entrepreneurship from a tender age. The programme length and content are very flexible and can be adapted to the parent or school’s needs ranging from a 5-day Summer Boot Camp to a yearlong programme.  Through KidPreneur, children learn entrepreneurship with a great emphasis on developing vocational skills while having fun. KidPreneur teaches children to create real life products and turn them into a real business.
