Ages 7–17

Real business education for young people who think differently

Four programmes that teach entrepreneurship the way it should be taught—hands-on, practical, and built around real projects. From a free school workshop to a self-paced online community, there’s a programme for every age, every ambition, and every schedule.

Most young people leave school without ever learning how to spot an opportunity, manage money, or pitch an idea. PushPals changes that. Our programmes give 7–17 year olds the entrepreneurial skills, mindset, and confidence that the traditional curriculum doesn’t cover—through hands-on workshops, immersive camps, weekly online sessions, and a self-paced community.

Every programme is built on our Entrepreneur DNA methodology, which develops mindset, skills, and action in equal measure. Whether your child is trying entrepreneurship for the first time or already has a business idea they want to launch, there’s a clear path forward.

The Learning Journey

Our programmes build on each other. Start anywhere and progress as far as your ambition takes you.

1

Discover: School Visits

A free, no-commitment introduction to entrepreneurship. Students experience a real business challenge in a single session and discover whether the entrepreneurial mindset resonates with them.

2

Build: Entrepreneurs Club or Skool Community

Regular, structured learning—either through weekly live sessions in the Entrepreneurs Club or self-paced courses in the Skool Community. Students develop real skills over weeks and months, working on projects that matter to them.

3

Launch: Holiday Camps

For 14–17 year olds ready to go deep. A full week of immersive, team-based business building that culminates in a pitch to real entrepreneurs. The closest thing to running a startup before actually running one.

The Entrepreneur DNA

Every PushPals programme is built on three pillars that develop well-rounded, capable young entrepreneurs.

Mindset & Identity

Pillar 1

Building resilience, self-belief, and the entrepreneurial way of thinking. Students learn to see challenges as opportunities and to back themselves when others hesitate.

Skills & Knowledge

Pillar 2

Practical business skills—from finance and marketing to problem-solving and communication. The toolkit every entrepreneur needs, taught through real-world application.

Action & Application

Pillar 3

Turning ideas into reality. Students plan, build, and present real projects—gaining hands-on experience that sticks long after the session ends.

Who Our Programmes Are For

If any of these sound like your child (or student), they’ll thrive here.

The Idea Machine

Always coming up with business ideas, side hustles, or ways to make money. They just need a framework and some guidance to turn ideas into action.

The Quiet Thinker

Smart, curious, and full of potential—but doesn’t always get the chance to shine in a traditional classroom. Entrepreneurship gives them a different stage.

The Natural Leader

Already organising friends, running clubs, or taking charge of group projects. They’re ready for a real challenge that develops their leadership further.

The Creative

Loves designing, making, or building things. Entrepreneurship channels that creativity into something tangible—a product, a brand, a real business plan.

What Parents & Teachers Say

“The workshop was the best session my students have had all year. Several of them have started working on business ideas since. The entrepreneur who visited was brilliant with them.”

Mrs S. Thompson

Head of Business Studies, Oakwood Academy

“My son came home from the holiday camp a different person. More confident, more driven, and genuinely excited about building something of his own. Worth every penny.”

Karen W.

Parent, Holiday Camp

“My daughter looks forward to her weekly club session more than anything else. She’s gone from quiet and unsure to confidently pitching ideas to the whole family.”

Lisa M.

Parent, Entrepreneurs Club
