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 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.
