ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Entrepreneurship teaches children, between ages 9-18, vital entrepreneurial, financial literacy, employability and workplace readiness skills and helps them start and grow their own micro-enterprises in a fun and experiential way.

Kids Inc. Aruba noted the problem in the educational development of children in Aruba. Entrepreneurship and financial literacy play a very small and most times no role at all in this development. 

These two concepts are the cornerstone of what Kids Inc.  instils in its member’s young minds.

Entrepreneurship is the process of designing, establishing and running a business, often a small business. 

The people who start these businesses and take a gap they see in the market or a different approach to a product or service are called entrepreneurs. 

The concepts and the mental approach to entrepreneurship can be taught, but across most of Aruba, this is not currently the case.

Our programmes are designed to encourage entrepreneurial thinking and spark the entrepreneurial spirit in young people.

 We inspire the young to live their dreams and make up for the gaps left by an educational system that ill prepares students for the world of work and business.

Cultivating entrepreneurship in the young is vital, as children are born imaginative, energetic, and willing to take risks, but without entrepreneurial education, the enterprising spirit of children dramatically declines over time and is almost non-existent by the time they graduate from high school.

Youth unemployment, poverty alleviation and major socio-economic change can only be achieved if we establish an entrepreneurial culture in Aruba and around the globe. We need to expose kids to entrepreneurship from a very early age and nurture their natural entrepreneurial mindedness.
