Why this programme exists
Most students leave school having never earned money legally or tested an idea. The programme closes that gap with a small, real, supervised first venture.
Who can take part
Students in partner schools, nominated by their school and supported by a parent or guardian. No prior business experience is required.
What you'll gain
- A tested idea and a first legal sale
- Basic costing, pricing and record keeping
- A named mentor for the full eight weeks
- A WSF certificate with a verification ID
