Become a Young Entrepreneur (BYE)
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee School of Continuing Education’s College for Teens Program partnered with the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Milwaukee and Wells Fargo Bank to provide teens from the Boys & Girls Club with a unique, hands-on experience in entrepreneurship. They participated in a program that educated them on the post-secondary path necessary to become a successful business owner. The curriculum for “Become a Yong Entrepreneur” was formulated around materials published by Youngbiz, a nationally based organization whose mission is to empower youth with entrepreneurial, business, and financial skills through innovative education and real-world experience. Students worked in teams to develop and present a business plan.
