It was formed to provide a training programme that introduces young people to many of the issues and skills needed in business and self-employment.[1] Designed to complement and enhance pre-school leavers’ education with a real-world taster of the life skills, know-how and aptitude required to run a business or become an entrepreneur, the KidsMBA Programme opens up the concept of self-employment and business management to young people from all walks of life.[2]

History

Whilst school provides a broad-based education for children that education does not extend to preparing children with the skills needed [3] in self-employment or to run their own business.

The KidsMBA Programme was developed in the UK by Barrister and Professor Mark Watson-Gandy as part of his call for children to receive basic business education at schools.[4] First delivered in 2016 at St Columba's Catholic Boys' School in Bexleyheath, England, the KidsMBA programme [5][6] has since been delivered internationally.

The Programme

The 10 hour intensive programme [7] is traditionally taught over 2 days by lecture, roll play, discussion and games.[8] With participants receiving a KidsMBA badge and Certificate of Achievement which allow them to compete in an international competition.
