Online Learning
Our YE Academy platform takes entrepreneurship education online – interactive solutions for classroom based or home-learning.
Our digital and blended programmes are full of fun, interactive activities designed for easy delivery. For most, it’s a matter of turning it on and letting the presentation do the work! Each module lasts approximately 30-40 minutes. Skills span the curriculum: teamwork, planning, creativity, spoken and written communications, time management, co-operation, flexibility, problem solving, budgeting and crucially, facing difficulties with a positive, proactive attitude.
All of the programmes can be run in the classroom. Some are also suitable for students to complete individually. Find out more below or Get in touch for more details.
