3 STEP PLAN

STEP1: IDEA- Students work together to brainstorm a feasible, costed and exciting idea for their school- based enterprise that can make money.

STEP 2: PLAN- Student develop a business plan by analyzing potential customers and competitors, agreeing on finances and creating marketing materials.

STEP 3: LAUNCH - Students run their business, sell their products or services to customers and make money for themselves or for a cause of their choice. 

Digital competences: Because Trademore-SBE uses a digital platform, trading makes use of software and online tools for accounting, banking, taxes, shipping and excise. As a result, trainees become familiar with the use of technology for business activities and simultaneously develop their IT skills.

WHAT MAKES THE TRAINING CONCEPT STAND OUT

Real-life international business experience: Through their commerce and trade across industries, borders and cultures, trainees develop hands-on knowledge of the expectations of both the workplace and the economy in their own country as well as internationally. This real-life business experience enables trainees to experience how strategies diverge from one country to another in language, culture, legal environment and a multitude of other influencing factors.

Mentors from business sectors: A Business Mentor is a key support in developing and conducting the business activities. The mentor brings the real business world into the JD Enterprise, advising the trainer and trainees about current workplace practices and processes. They may help interview the students for their team or position within the company, suggest ways to promote their products effectively, or help them determine suitable organizational arrangements to suit their product range.
