WANT TO LEARN HOW TO START A BUSINESS?
The Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA) is a not-for-profit impact venture and a new proposition in entrepreneurial education. Our core offering is an online platform that teaches 'real-life' business skills to young people.
The platform houses our first 20-part interactive learning series 'Basics of Business: Beginner to Boss' and is a goldmine of practical business tips, entrepreneur interviews, and resources. Students not only conquer the 'Basics of Business' but also develop their own business plans, drawing inspiration from some award-winning entrepreneurs. Ace the learning series and snag a UCL endorsed certificate, plus a shot at winning investment after pitching to the YEA Dragons.
The YEA platform is FREE to those that join our pilot phase, thanks to incredible support. We're keen to get as many young individuals as possible - particularly those from backgrounds that traditionally lack access to entrepreneurial resources and opportunities - interested in entrepreneurship, championing diversity and levelling up society along the way.
