Get aHead for Business

About Get aHead for Business

Get aHead for Business is a new entrepreneurial business program for high school students that combines interactive classroom learning with real-life experience. The curriculum develops creative and critical thinking skills by immersing students in the experience of starting, running and growing a business in their school.  

How Does the Program Work?

The program includes two core classes taught in school and one optional class as an independent study.  Students experience all the phases of start-up and operations: beginning with the creative side of entrepreneurial thinking, through obtaining financing, purchasing inventory, managing employees, and earning profits.

Why Offer Get aHead for Business?

The lessons and life skills students learn go well beyond how to start and operate a business. Students gain personal financial management skills, learn about the importance of good customer service, and build workplace skills they can put to use in any career.

The Get aHead for Business curriculum is FREE for all teachers who are interested in teaching it.
