Each week, they will receive a new module that includes:

• Engaging video content that puts the spotlight on a real-life entrepreneur who has turned their passions into a successful business

The lessons are designed to be 50 minutes but you can adapt as needed. Video content is typically around 25 min.

The Scottish Government has a vision of becoming a world-class entrepreneurial nation. This future rests with young Scots thinking like and / or wanting to become entrepreneurs.  

If we want to have a diverse, talented pool of future entrepreneurs, we need to give every student in Scotland access to role models they can relate to. 

F4S, an award-winning charity with a mission to empower teachers and inspire students about careers of the future, in partnership with Digital Boost, a free mentoring and learning platform.

We are also collaborating with partners like Buy Women Built.

We all want to empower young people to embrace the mindset of entrepreneurs!
