Ep/037: This New School Program Is Creating Young Entrepreneurs!
What if learning about business wasn’t just about textbooks and theory, but about real-world experience? In this episode, we’re diving into the Leavers Hoodies Enterprise Project—a unique initiative that empowers students to take on marketing, sales, and finance without the complexity of production. We’ll explore why experiential learning is so powerful, how this project is making an impact on schools like Elgin Academy (where students just earned £450 in commission!), and why mentorship is at the heart of its success. Plus, we’ll discuss how this hands-on approach mirrors experiential retail, making business meaningful both in the classroom and on the high street.
Tune in to hear how this project is shaping the next generation of entrepreneurs! 🚀
