Registration is now open for the fall Future CEO program
The Carlsbad Chamber Community Foundation is excited to announce that registration is now open for the fall Future CEO program! This course teaches middle school students essential business skills, including creating business plans, licensing, product development, branding, banking and finance, and customer interaction. It aims to inspire confidence, creativity, and independence, culminating in a Business Day & Maker’s Market to showcase student ventures.
The Future CEO program is a new entrepreneurship program for middle school students that introduces young students to the world of business. It will teach what it takes to be the CEO of a company, and all the steps required to run a successful business, whether large or small.
In the spring, the first cohort of the Future CEO program had 26 students from Carlsbad-area middle schools experience the educational, engaging, fun, and interactive curriculum.
Our Future CEO program is designed to be an uplifting, educational experience that will instill confidence and inspire creativity in our youth. It will make children and families feel a bigger sense of community, teaching them independence, and giving them hope for future successes in life.
The classes are held at the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce each Thursday, from 4:00pm – 4:45pm, starting on September 25th. For the fall classes, the maximum number of students is 40, so be sure to sign up and register before they fill up.
Each week, there is a guest speaker to help illustrate the week’s topic and give the students an in-person, first-hand account of the business world. The lineup for the fall is quite impressive and will have guest speakers from Bitchin’ Sauce, WWM Financial, Señor Grubby’s, Vuori, and Chick-fil-A.
The highlight and final week of the program all comes together in the Future CEO Business Day & Maker’s Market, where the students will be allowed to showcase their business and sell the goods they created!
