TiE Young Entrepreneurs (TYE) Program
The TYE program is a series of structured workshops for high school students where the students learn how to come up with a good business idea and build a plan around it. Participants are mentored in teams by our Charter Members, culminating in a formal presentation of their idea and plan to a panel of experienced entrepreneurs.
THE 2020 MELBOURNE TYE PROGRAM
The TiE Young Entrepreneurs program is aimed at school age students from year 8 to year 11 within Victoria.
The program is designed as a team event, however individual participants are also encouraged. The program focus is to take a good idea and turn it into a robust business plan that will be scrutinised by a panel of leading entrepreneurs at the completion of the program.
The teams are supported on this journey from idea to plan by a facilitated workshop program run over 10 weeks during August to October 2020, plus access to a team mentor. The program aims to teach and expose the participants to the how to generate and identify good ideas, how to build a robust business plan around that idea and then how to present this to prospective investors.
