EDTREPRENEURIGNITE for Schools
Identity-first Entrepreneurship Education, built for measurable learner outcomes
EdtrepreneurIgnite is a structured entrepreneurship programme that begins with learner identity and strengths, then translates this into real-world value creation, culminating in a portfolio and pitch-ready venture concept. The programme was developed and tested over three years in a prominent high school in Gauteng, refining both learner engagement and classroom practicality.
