Tomorrow's Young Entrepreneur

ENTREPRENERUSHIP PROGRAM

T.Y.E's unique program models bring important business concepts to life. Teachers incorporate hands-on experiences such as field trips to the Chicago financial district, interacting with successful entrepreneurs, and business media personalities. Classes are offered as "stand-alone" entrepreneurship courses. The desired outcome is for each student to develop and present a detailed business plan for their product or service upon completion of the program.

In order to prepare aspiring young entrepreneurs, T.Y.E 'dresses' up the learning approach to understanding how to start and operate a business through our various programs. Upon conclusion of the program, each youth has grasped both the basics and advanced knowledge of how to research, organize, develop, and launch their business. The student will experience growth through each of the following stages:

Designed for teens between the ages of 13-18, our programs are customized to fit the needs of the young aspiring entrepreneur. We offer a variety of options, from 1-week camps to 12-week sessions, as well as daily lectures and seminars.

These are hands-on programs that give youth the confidence they need to get them started with systematic support and follow-up. At the end of the program there is a contest for the best business plan. The winner will receive a grant to offset the start-up capital of their business. At the completion of this program a certificate is awarded to each student. During the summer the students have an opportunity to participate in a Trade Show organized by T.Y.E. This will allow each young entrepreneur the option to market their business to a larger audience.
