ABE Endorsed Kids MBA

Overview

The ABE Endorsed KidsMBA is an innovative new programme for children aged 11-17 which develops entrepreneurial skills and know-how through the use of games, role play and discussion. The programme provides a superb introduction to the world of business and is a stepping stone to future careers and further business studies. At the end of the programme each participant receives a numbered ABE Endorsed KidsMBA Certificate of Achievement featuring the branding of ABE: an internationally recognised awarding organisation and skills development specialist. The ABE Endorsed KidsMBA is geared towards creating future entrepreneurs that opens up the concept of self-employment and business management skills to young people.

At the end of this programme students are required to participate in a “Shark Tank” event where they would be given an opportunity to pitch their innovative business ideas. It would be facilitated online through Zoom. The Zoom platform is highly interactive with innovative features such as breakout rooms, polls, chats and more to encourage facilitative and interactive learning.
