67% of students in structured programs strengthen problem-solving, creative thinking, and financial decision-making

Entrepreneurship education matters—and the research behind it is compelling.

Kauffman Foundation studies find stronger critical-thinking and decision-making among students exposed to entrepreneurship education (1), and Global Entrepreneurship Monitor data shows 67% of students in structured programs strengthen problem-solving, creative thinking, and financial decision-making(2).

And when it comes to financial literacy, Jump$tart Coalition research shows that early financial education leads to stronger money-management habits, better understanding of economic concepts, and more responsible saving and spending behaviors(3).

At a time when no one can predict what careers will look like a decade from now, Young CEO Squad’s Kid Business Workshops can be immediately implemented to boost the critical skills students need to navigate that uncertainty.

Reviews

Kathryn Wells

Richmond Heights Middle School

"Students took real ownership of their learning — they weren’t just following directions, they were thinking like entrepreneurs.”

Alissa Neczypor

Corpus Christi Academy

"This Business plan was used in a small group setting on students that were interested in setting up a business for an upcoming competition that we have in our district. The students that used it were very impressed with how easy it was to complete and the directions were very well thought out. As a teacher, that has previously been a business owner, this business plan template is something that I would have loved to have as an adult!"

Angela Cottrell

Bernice Young Elementary

“It was incredible to watch students realize ‘I can actually do this.’ They became more creative and willing to try.”

Kaitlyn Townsend

Boys & Girls Club of the Heartland

"My afterschool students at every location really enjoyed these. This is a great activity that could work with any age group and it truly teaches the foundations of starting their own business in a fun way! This is something I would love to use every year with new and incoming members."

Kara Pietrowski

Summit Academy

“My students practiced teamwork, problem-solving, and talking with customers — it didn’t feel like a lesson, it felt like real life.”

Christina Copeland

Willis Shaw Elementary

"This resource was a great addition to our end of year 4th grade economics unit. Students create their own small business and sell their products to other students in our school. This resource was used by students who would not have been able to purchase materials otherwise."
