Participants will learn how to navigate and lead effectively during periods of change and uncertainty while building resilience to handle challenges.

TUESDAY 29th APRIL

10am - 12pm: Entrepreneurship (Be Your Own Boss!)

Around a quarter of Aussie 18-26 year olds (Gen Z) run side hustles or small-business ventures. Entrepreneurship is the process of creating, developing, and managing a new business venture with the aim of generating profits or creating value. We lay the groundwork with the core concepts and principles of entrepreneurship, before diving into creative problem-solving. Participants will gain skills to analyse situations, make informed decisions and creatively solve problems in dynamic environments. There will be many interactive activities!

1pm - 4pm: Ideation

Participants will develop their critical thinking and craft solutions to local/ community problems or opportunities. We will deep dive into the participants' proposals, evaluating their feasibility and societal impact. The workshop culminates with participants presenting their refined ideas (feasible solution/ social change idea/ business idea) in an investment "Shark Tank' pitch style, simulating the experience of real-world entrepreneurship scenarios.

Young people aged 12- 24 years are invited to apply for a FREE place on these courses.

Places are limited. Older youth may be prioritised for the Independent Living and Money Essentials workshops.

Subsidisation of the workshops is funded under the NSW Government’s Regional Youth Investment Program.
