Do you have a business idea that you would love to bring to life? Join us at the Young Entrepreneurs Hub in January where we will be working to help you build and launch your own business.

Over two action-packed days, we will be working with high school students to build their own businesses as part of the Young Entrepreneurs Hub. With the program hosted at the WeWork Co-Working Space in Brisbane City, and facilitated by the expert BOP team, this is a great opportunity for young people looking to bring their business ideas to life.

For our program on the 5th and 6th of January, we will have a specific focus on helping students build the digital presence for their business as they create their own website and business social media accounts. Over the course of the two days, we will organise specialised masterclasses and expert mentors to work with students to design and launch their websites and social media accounts.

Website Design
If you're not a coder there is also no need to worry. There will be no coding required in this program as we will be using the Wix platform to design our websites using drag and drop design features. As we design our websites we will be focussing on communicating the key information to your customers, whilst also ensuring your website is clear and easy to use. By the end of the program each student will have a finished (or nearly finished) landing page for their business.

Social Media Accounts
A key part of the success of every business is being able to share its story with the world. In this program we will be working with students to identify the key social platforms for their business before then creating a social media strategy, finding quick and easy ways to create content, and then setting up the accounts to schedule some posts!

Our Young Entrepreneurs Hub Program has been designed for high school students looking to bring their business ideas to life. Over the course of the two days students will be connecting with other like-minded young people, hearing from mentors in the field, and working with the BOP team as we guide them along their business journey.

Each day, students will start with a quick check-in with the BOP team before diving into a masterclass on the focus topic for the day. From there they will be free to work on their business as they apply their newfound knowledge and skills. Throughout the day the BOP team will check in with the students to provide support, and mentors will also be available to inspire and empower attendees.
