2021 NCCU SYBEA Virtual Academy Applications are Now Open! | It is that time of year again!  We are excited to announce the 2^nd Annual Summer Youth Business and Entrepreneurship (SYBEA) Virtual academy.  Last year's virtual academy was such a great success that we wanted to do it again.  While the world is slowly opening back up we have decided to keep this year's program offering virtual and would love your assistance in helping us to get the world out!  The academy is free and an excellent opportunity for students to hone in on their entrepreneurial, leadership, and team-building skills this summer!

 

Under the guides of social justice initiatives, SYBEA Virtual Academy Part II will consider a deeper dive into social entrepreneurship concepts.  They are exploring the means from which ideas are formulated, constructed, and advanced.  Students will consider a prompt dealing with an issue that requires sustainable solutions; from that prompt, they will determine the appropriate product or service that will address those concerns.

 

During the week, they will hear from social entrepreneurship leaders and take part in workshops that explore design thinking, brand analysis, process mapping, marketing/promotion, and financial planning.  At the end of the week, students will give a 3-5 minute pitch to introduce their product/service, and a panel of community advocates will determine their program's viability.

 

Application is available at this link: https://bit.ly/34rvQgT
