WANT TO LEARN HOW TO START A BUSINESS?
The Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA) is a not-for-profit initiative developed in partnership with UCL’s School of Management, UCL's Institute of Education, and some award-winning entrepreneurs. Our goal is to equip young people with real-life business skills and an entrepreneurial mindset.
Our core programme is a 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 and financial literacy. Ace the learning series and snag a UCL-accredited certificate, plus a shot at winning investment after pitching to the YEA Dragons.
The YEA platform is free to use 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.
