You’re never too young to innovate.

We know innovation knows no age. We are serious about providing the resources for students and educators to succeed as they innovate and build businesses. Our Student Business Builder Program is designed for students. Our Discover Entrepreneurship Program is designed for educators of entrepreneurial-minded students.

Experiential Learning at The NIIC - JA Entrepreneurial Camp

FOR STUDENTS:
BUSINESS BUILDER PROGRAM

WHO IS IT FOR?

Are you a student ready to start or grow your business? Everyone should have the opportunity to innovate. Why not learn how and start while you’re still in high school, college or three years post-grad?

  • Start and grow your business in a supportive, structured, success-focused environment
  • Aside from $25 skin in the game fee upon acceptance into the program, there is no cost to participate (due to generous funders and support from The NIIC)

HOW DOES IT WORK?

  • Sprint 1 - MINDSET: Discover and develop your idea and business model and learn about your own entrepreneurial drives and talents.
  • Sprint 2 - VALIDATION: Build a prototype and test it with real customers in preparation for your business launch.
