Class response
May
The girls in the class loved the real stories and the links. They had lots of questions. It was interesting how 'risk' became a key topic suddenly. They also wanted to know about the support of parents! Watch out!
Helping my daughter
Sue
My daughter likes the idea of being a business person, but has had no prior experiences of this within our family. This course is a gentle way to introduce some entrepreneurial concepts to her, without it being too heavy and too long. Good job, thanks.
Starting simply
Harry
My daughter and son chose not to do business studies at school, but still like the idea of being entrepreneurial. This course gives them a nice intro and along with your other youth entrepreneurship course, gives them a lot of things to think about. I like the idea of keeping it simple so it doesn't turn the kids away.
A nice mix
Iqbal
My kids think they will all be successful business people. This course has two benefits for me. My son can see the wonderful examples of young women as entrepreneurs, and my daughter can see excellent role models. I like to sit beside the kids when they do this. Helps keep them on track!
Onward and upward
Michelle
My daughter feels inspired. Some really nice examples within.
I also like how you haven't made these courses too heavy or too long. Keeping it light but purposeful was the correct way to go. I also liked the links to the www. This encourages my daughter to start having a look for herself.
Social entrepreneurship
Dana
Good to see the inclusion of social entrepreneurship. Like a lot of kids, my daughter wants to save the planet. (I hope she succeeds!)
Co-ed benefit
Mike
Highlighting female entrepreneurs was good to do in my class. The boys benefitted because the conversation became robust about the characteristics which were identified as female specific. It can be difficult to get students to talk, but not this week!
