8th March 2023 Find your inner entrepreneur with Wise

"We live in a unique time, where people like you and me can take on the huge problems of the world – and fix them." Kristo Käärmann, co-founder Wise

Next month we’re excited to start our entrepreneur workshops with Wise but since its National Careers Week, we’re letting you know about this opportunity for potential career growth now.

These free one-day workshops for Key Stage 5 students, give young people the chance to be budding entrepreneurs for the day. It’s not like Lord Sugar’s Apprentice TV show – there’s no intimidating music for a start – we’re giving students insights into the skills that are vital to entrepreneurial success.

Students will be tasked with developing and pitching their own business project to Wise employees, and the workshop includes information about the range of career pathways available to them.

An additional enrichment activity to this workshop sees a student team from each school invited to a further one day Entrepreneurship Bootcamp. This fabulous opportunity is held at Wise’s Shoreditch offices in July 2023. Facilitating this Bootcamp are successful entrepreneurs and professionals who have volunteered their time to provide tailored advice to students on next career steps, offering a unique high-level perspective of what is needed to secure their own successful career.

Teachers can book workshops via our team or online, and as part of this terrific opportunity you’ll be ticking Gatsby Benchmarks 5 and 6. High five!
