What We Do

Entrepreneurial Leadership Program

Learn online, practise in person. Empowering the Next Generation to Lead the Future.

Three Stages, One Pathway

ELP moves participants from a first taste of entrepreneurial thinking to a real, mentored project — each stage building on the last.

Stage 1
Spark
One term

School and library clubs introduce students to entrepreneurial thinking and leadership basics — close to home, low-commitment, and open to anyone curious to try.

Stage 2
Build
Online cohort + pitch camp

Participants join an online cohort to develop a real idea, then come together in person for a short pitch camp where they test it in front of mentors and peers.

Stage 3
Launch
6-month mentored fellowship

The strongest participants move into a 6-month mentored fellowship, working with a mentor to take their venture or initiative from idea to action.

Inside ELP

Pathways: Our Scholarship Track

Pathways (formerly known as PowerScholars) is now the scholarship track inside ELP, not a separate programme. It connects high-performing participants with mentorship, life-skills coaching, and scholarship or fellowship opportunities as they move through Spark, Build and Launch.

Open to Everyone

35% of places are fully funded and 15% are partly funded, so that money never decides who can take part.

We keep the rest of our places affordable, and we review access every cohort so that cost is never the reason a capable young person misses out.
