Entrepreneurship Education
Entrepreneurs are passionate individuals with creative appetites and a willingness to take calculated risks to bring a product or service from idea to market. Vision, leadership, and determination are required to propel emerging businesses forward.
Youth Lab's vision is to create an entrepreneurial ecosystem and build a global platform to showcase and expose students to business success stories.
Entrepreneurship Education focuses on co-designing, co-creating, and co-developing innovative ideas, products, and services to develop and expand entrepreneurship knowledge and skills. The program culminates with a pitch-fest on participants' entrepreneurial experiences, thoughts, prototypes, and local-to-global marketing of new products and services.
The entrepreneurship education program takes place over one school semester, with the option to extend it to a full academic year. We partner with high schools, colleges, universities, and entrepreneurial ecosystems to optimize entrepreneurial development and mentoring and explore our students' future career pathways.
Youth Lab programs are project-based and hands-on experiential learning about the fundamentals of entrepreneurship and future leadership roles. During this course, students acquire skills to engage, collaborate, and innovate their ideas and manage workforce teams, customers, and partners.
