2024-25

Our Youth Entrepreneurship Program is a transformative journey designed to equip young minds with essential skills, knowledge, and attitudes to thrive in today’s dynamic world. With a strong focus on fostering creativity, innovation, and responsible citizenship, we aim to guide our youth towards a path of success and fulfillment.

General Education Goals

The program embraces a comprehensive approach to education, cultivating fundamental learning and communication skills. Through writing and reading, our participants learn to articulate and communicate their ideas effectively. They gain a solid understanding of essential mathematical concepts and scientific problem-solving methods, enhancing their analytical and research abilities.

Facilitating Learning with Skills and Attitudes

We encourage abstract thinking, empowering our young entrepreneurs to envision innovative solutions and embrace new perspectives. Objective observation helps them see opportunities in every challenge, and we provide a supportive environment that allows for choices and learning from mistakes.

Building Satisfactory Relationships

We understand the importance of interpersonal and group relationships for personal and professional growth. Through team-building activities and collaboration opportunities, our participants develop competence in communication and teamwork.

Nurturing Responsible Citizenship

The program instills an understanding of the merits of the free enterprise system. Our young entrepreneurs learn the values of responsibility, ethics, and social impact, preparing them to contribute positively to society as responsible citizens.

Fostering Career Information and Economic Competence

As part of the Youth Entrepreneurship Program, participants explore the relationship between their aptitudes, interests, and potential occupations. We provide them with knowledge, abilities, and skills essential for entering the world of work upon completing their education. Our aim is to ensure that each participant has the information they need to realize their life goals.
