WHAT is JEP?
Real life learning for children
Junior Entrepreneur Programme (JEP) has given more than 67,000 primary school pupils on the island of Ireland the opportunity to experience practical, real-life business learning as part of their formative education.
Nurtures creativity, independence and problem solving
Running over a 12 to 16 week period during the school year, JEP nurtures creativity, independence and problem-solving among pupils of all abilities, with every aspect of the Programme seamlessly blending into the primary school curriculum.
Start a real business in the classroom
Under their teacher’s guidance, and with the inspiration of local entrepreneurs, children will discover their strengths as individuals and as part of a team. Together, they’ll choose, invest in and produce their own product or service from scratch, all the way to making it available for sale at a school-hosted JEP Showcase Day – and enjoying the profits at the end.
Supporting our teachers
Teachers are provided with a classroom kit which gives them everything they need to deliver the programme. Every chapter and the pupil’s workbook reinforces the primary school curriculum. There’s live online help and telephone support line for teachers as well as regular webinars. Teachers decide whether JEP is appropriate for their classes.
