Introduction
VGC’s innovative Young Executive Program provides teens with practical business knowledge and skills. We’ve taken the same key elements from our popular two-week business seminar and tailored it for young leaders. This program is designed for students with a higher level of English (Cambridge level FCE). Through this program, students will study the core concepts in leadership and entrepreneurship. Students will then apply their lessons in real situations through academic activities. This course equips them with the skills needed to succeed and become leaders of the future.
The best way to develop your skills is to apply them. In our Young Executive Program, teachers accompany students on academic activities outside of the classroom twice a week. Through these activities, students will apply their business skills to complete real-world assignments. Students will also use their communication skills to navigate their environment. Our activities give students the chance to experience Canadian Culture while they study. For example, students may take a trip to the Vancouver Aquarium to analyze their business frameworks. They may also prepare a business plan to address a gap in the Vancouver market. Assignments may even include interviews with Canadian business owners. Through these activities, students learn about various leadership styles and skills.
