The School Enterprise Challenge
Enabling young people to gain the relevant skills, knowledge, behaviors and values for success.
The School Enterprise Challenge is a unique international business competition for school students, aiming to identify and REWARD the social entrepreneurs of tomorrow.
The School Enterprise Challenge was designed to transform large numbers of young people around the world from job seekers into job creators. The program challenges young people to establish a socially responsible, but profitable business at their schools. The business becomes a platform for providing hands-on relevant education to students, while generating EXTRA INCOME for the school.
This project is innovative in its design for achieving significant reach at low cost, making it both scalable and ACCESSIBLE for poorer schools. It harnesses the power of competition to spur change, while providing expert and peer support for schools to improve learning outcomes.
