As young people, we're all working to find our passions and explore new ways to bring our passions to life. We're seeing the future of work changing faster as more exciting opportunities are created for young people to pursue their interests. Ever heard of a social media detox coach, a nanotechnologist, or an organic food producer? Not too long ago, these entrepreneurial pathways didn’t exist.

As the workforce continues to adapt to global events, rapidly evolving technology, and societal shifts, rather than searching for a job, young people today are creating their own opportunities.

As part of our Business Builders after school program, we will be working with students to follow their interests and grow their ideas into a tangible product or service, giving them a way to bring their ideas to life, whilst also making money doing so. Whether their venture returns a profit or remains in the classroom, students will adopt an entrepreneurial mindset where they will gain confidence in themselves and discover their potential.

In our Business Builders program, students learn what it takes to design, create, and build their own business. Our young people work with an expert team of facilitators and will be challenged to prototype their own product or service. They will take the time to understand the business basics before then building their own brand ready to launch at the end of the term.
