Biz Whiz, previously known as Teaching Success, is a global program that offers certification training to educators and community program instructors to deliver a GenEI Biz Whiz program to student’s grades three-twelve. Soon it will continue its expansion and complete the entrepreneurial pipeline through the development of the K-5 curriculum.

Every Biz Whiz program encourages youth to become engaged in their education, while giving them the opportunity to DREAM BIG and explore career pathways based on their own interests. Entrepreneurship is the vehicle that allows youth to unleash their creativity, looking at their own interests, talents, and abilities, while connecting it to the world of work. As youth learn about business development, we take them through the process of idea generation, market surveys, developing a business and financial plan, while incorporating project-based activities for students to learn soft skills, manners and etiquette, and communication, to prepare them for the world of work. They experience first-hand the risks and rewards of business ownership.

Each program is flexible and can be integrated into any subject area allowing youth to explore different pathways and business ventures based on English, math, art, trades, business, etc. It also fits well in community based programs: churches, libraries, before and after school programs, etc.

Generation E is always looking for educators and organization instructors who are interested in bringing this unique program to their classroom or community program.
