This one-day workshop gives younger teenagers an exciting opportunity to explore the idea of business ownership. Students will enjoy hands-on activities that raise awareness of social responsibility in business and stimulate creative thinking. They will be inspired to identify a money-making opportunity and explore their own skills, talents and interests that could be used to start a business that meets the needs of potential customers in the local community. Most importantly, this challenging workshop encourages young people to be enterprising problem solvers who believe their good ideas and entrepreneurial attitudes can bring positive change to the world around them.
