Unloc’s Enterprise Short Course inspires young people to run their own business

As a new term begins there’s never been a better time to encourage the young people at your school or college to be their own boss one day, and empower them to become young entrepreneurs.

As the world, and technology changes, the job market will rapidly alter within the next decade. Providing young people with the confidence, ideas and passion to think for themselves and shape their own future is the best gift we can give them.

Our Enterprise Short Course is a practical, creative and structured programme that develops the entrepreneurial mindset and skills of young people.

Our programme is built by former young entrepreneurs and experts, recognising the important lessons and journey they made, and is targeted towards different age groups and level levels.

Available in a variety of formats including 12 week courses or 2-4 day bootcamps depending on your requirements, young people on the programme will explore the key skills and knowledge associated with starting a business, with learning geared towards creating their very own businesses, projects or charity concepts.

They’ll use their creativity and logical thinking to come up with an idea for their own business, then think through how that would logistically work, how it would run, who their customers would be, how they would market it, and how they would make a profit.

By the end of the inspiring programme our ‘apprentice’ participants will have:

  • Functional knowledge to develop their own enterprise or business (including: business planning, market testing, employment, legal structures & money management)
  • The personal confidence, skills and qualities for entrepreneurship and employability
  • Been provided with a creative outlet for entrepreneurial ideas
  • Connected with external role models, entrepreneurs and business leaders

In order to graduate the programme and receive Unloc’s employer-backed completion certificate, each young person will present their concepts to a panel of school/college and Unloc facilitators.

These will include:

  • A completed Business Model Canvas
  • A confident pitch with accompanying visuals

Whether your students need to develop their confidence and employability, or they’ve proactively decided that self-employment is the route for them, the Unloc Enterprise Short Course will provide an inspiring and insightful personal development journey for all.
