12 to 16 years old?
Let's get you excited about business
The world is changing. Rapidly. Knowing about business is becoming a critical life skill.
​
The 'Young Entrepreneurs Academy' was created by Bluebox Corporate Finance with incredible support from Francis Holland School and some of the UK's leading young entrepreneurs. Driven by a passion to share their knowledge, encourage the next generation and inspire entrepreneurialism, these entrepreneurs have given their time to create engaging content that provides telling insight into the real world.
​
The teen experience starts with a 20-part interactive video series called Basics of Business: 20 Quick Hits. Real life video content alongside great graphics and illustration, our series has been produced to inspire, teach and test the real-life business skills of the leaders, game-changers and thinkers of tomorrow.
​
Accessible to 12-16 year olds across the UK, the Basics of Business: 20 Quick Hits covers the most important topics to 'real-world' educate and inspire tomorrow's talent. Successful graduates are awarded a YEA Diploma.
No business experience or prior knowledge is necessary, but we will only enrol young entrepreneurs who have the appetite to learn.
Young entrepreneurs need real-life skills to create, nurture and scale a business.
