The skills that the students learn through the Startup Sherpas programme are exactly the skills they need for work. On top of that, we have seen a direct link between students participating in the programme and improvements in their academic life.
We teach 13-18 yr olds innovation and entrepreneurship through paid work experience. We believe that we need a whole generation of trained innovators who have the skills to bring their own vision for a better future to life.
By empowering youth with knowledge of global needs and their role, we accelerate positive change. Envisioning universal paid work experience, we aim for teens to evolve into entrepreneurs, fostering thriving communities nationwide.
