The YOUNG BUSINESS LEADERS PROGRAM HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO HELP INSPIRE,
empower and engage high school aged students in the Beenleigh and
Yatala region, giving them the tools, knowledge and platform to be
able to launch and grow their own small BUSINESSES FROM BEENLEIGH
WHILE THEY’re still in high school. PROGRAM AT A GLANCE:
This program is free to join and is open to high school students from
Beenleigh State High School, Rivermount College, Canterbury College,
Windaroo State High School, Livingstone College and Trinity College.
The program will take place from 3:30 - 5:00 at Canterbury College
every Thursday afternoon from the 30th of April to the 18th of June
(Week 2 - 8, Term Two). We ask that students make their own way to
Canterbury College each week to participate in the program. Students
may enter the program in teams of 1-5 people.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
Delivered by the BOP Industries team as part of the Queensland Young
Entrepreneurs Hub, the program has been designed to encourage high
school students to start their own small businesses, building their
business knowledge from a young age. With a structured program run in
an after-school format over the space of a term, this program combines
weekly in-person sessions and masterclasses with online support to
give students every chance of success in their business ventures.
With a focus on small business, by the end of the program students
will have developed a prototype of their product and they will be
pitching to a team of judges for investment to help grow their
business. Students will be challenged to develop a product that they
can then sell at the local Beenleigh markets at the conclusion of the
program. With this focus on small business and market stall style
products, we will be showing students how they can continue to run and
grow their businesses after they have completed the program.
With the BOP Industries team facilitating, students will be learning
about business fundamentals such as business models, product design,
branding and launch strategies, as well as advanced business concepts
where necessary such as setting up an ecommerce store, Facebook and
Instagram marketing, packaging design and more.
Presented by the Beenleigh Yatala Chamber Of Commerce, this program is
designed to cultivate and grow young business leaders in the Beenleigh
region, showing young people how they can be their own boss and grow
fantastic businesses from Beenleigh.
