BizPrep Enterprise Initiative - Marion County
BizPrep Enterprise Initiative (BEI) will prepare young adults in Indianapolis with practical business operating experience at a local Simon mall. BizPrep provides youth with opportunities to master core entrepreneurial competencies during a ten-day, three hours a day business exploration class. Participating teams operate their businesses at a local Simon mall. The program concludes with a business plan competition. The four top business plans can win up to $300 savings bond for college. This program is made possible through a partnership between Purdue Extension-Marion County, Simon Property Group Inc, and Junior Achievement of Central Indiana.
