Dear GCISD Teachers and Counselors, Dear GCISD Staff Members, We’re searching for ambitious, creative, talented and motivated middle and high school students who are excited to learn how to transform a passion and an idea into a REAL business over the course of an academic year. To nominate a student to apply for the Young Entrepreneurs Academy Class of 2015, please follow the simple steps below!
1. CONSIDER DYNAMIC STUDENTS GREAT FOR THE YEA! PROGRAM
The types of students who excel in the Young Entrepreneurs Academy are highly motivated, driven, creative, thinkers who are excited about new ideas, new opportunities, and are looking to do something big. No business experience is required to be successful in the YEA! program. Often times, YEA!’s most successful students are those who have a certain passion or talent and are excited to further develop that passion. Other ideal students are excited by the concept of becoming a business owner. Some simply like the concept of ‘Shark Tank’ which is what this program is modeled after.
2.
TALK WITH YOUR STUDENT
Once you’ve chosen a good candidate, excite them about this opportunity, highlight the attached program materials, point out the time commitment required and get an application into their hands!
3. NOMINATED STUDENTS APPLY
The student you have nominated will then submit the application to the Grapevine Chamber of Commerce and schedule a time for an interview. Grapevine Chamber of Commerce Attention – Michael Miori 200 Vine Street Grapevine, Texas 76051 michael@grapevinechamber.org 817-481-1522
