ABE Endorsed KidsMBA: programme outcomes KidsMBA fosters skills well beyond learning about starting and growing a business, here are some of the benefits it has been shown to provide: Creative thinking Teamwork Problem-solving Self-confidence
Persuasive speaking Leadership Critical assessment Engagement with other subjects
Throughout the programme, pupils work together and gain confidence whilst developing a practical understanding of what running a business entails. This sparks a desire to build on their knowledge (typically we see a 30% increase in students wanting to continue on business courses after KidsMBA). The programme's practical roleplay style of learning stimulates imagination and creativity whilst showing pupils how all the subjects are interlinked. For example, developing and marketing a new product requires skills drawn from a range of topics such as marketing (Literacy), branding (Design and Technology) and pricing (Maths and Economics). KidsMBA encourages students to relate entrepreneurship to other activities they enjoy and care about. This entrepreneurial thinking can then be nurtured and developed throughout school life.
