Young Entrepreneurs: Business and Enterprise
From an idea to a business plan and a pitch.
Young Entrepreneurs turns an idea into a plan. Students find a real problem, interview possible customers, design a product or service, work out costs, prices and break-even, plan marketing and operations, and learn how teams are managed. They finish with a business plan and a pitch, and the habits that make anyone more enterprising: initiative, resilience and careful thinking with numbers.
