Do You Have A Business Idea That You Want To Bring To Life?

BOP Industries and Bendigo Bank Beenleigh invites students in Years 7-12 to the Young Entrepreneurs Hub, Preparing To Launch program, hosted at the BOP Industries offices in the Brisbane CBD. Over the course of one action-packed day, students with a keen interest in taking their business to the next level will have the opportunity to experience life as a small business owner, as they are taken through a series of business masterclasses dedicated to preparing students with the fundamental skills and knowledge to launch their business in the real world.

Participating students are expected to attend the program with a business idea that is in pre-launch or initial launch phases. This is a program designed to highlight the importance of business operations, marketing strategies, financial literacy and more. The program will include a catered morning tea, as well as access to our in-house barista and basic kitchen utilities (microwave/fridge).

The workshop will also include interactive sessions, case studies, and practical exercises to help students apply their newfound knowledge in real-world scenarios.
