Junior Entrepreneur Programme
The Junior Entrepreneur Programme (JEP) is a business and entrepreneurship initiative for 5th and 6th class students in our school. It introduces our students to real-world business concepts by guiding them through the process of creating, developing, and running their own small business. The JEP helps develop skills like teamwork, problem-solving, financial literacy, and creativity. It’s supported by local businesses and volunteers who offer mentorship to participating schools.
