Kids Business Apprentice Program™

"You're Hired!"

Our kids business apprentice program exposes kids  to business by introducing them to business concepts, providing a wide variety of business resources and gives kids (pre-teens, teens, youth, children)  opportunities for valuable business experience.

An apprentice is someone  to be trained in a particular skill for a set amount of time by a specific employer. During the apprentice term the person gains skills and experience. 

Our kids apprentice program welcomes all kids to participate for as long as necessary to gain business skills and experience. 

All contestants will be given a prize. The top 20 candidates will be given a KidsBusinessFranchise and the overall winner will work for TeachingKidsBusiness.com as a V.P. of Business Development.

Enjoy!
