Step-By-Step Guidance

BizKidz will have access to a dedicated App to support you even when on the go, pre-recorded lessons can be consumed at a time and place to suit them. With bite-size video lessons and downloadable workbooks delivered weekly, they will have plenty of time to fit the learning and implementation around school, hobbies, and other commitments. BizKidz Academy will move them from buzzing business ideas, through logical learning steps, and help them produce their own new business start-up! They are invited to weekly live and interactive Academy video meetings with Cheryl Dodd. These meetings add a layer of learning to the Academy, offer support and help as well as building relationships with other BizKidz as they work in smaller groups in the breakout rooms. 

Bonding Over Business

Founder and Business Mentor Cheryl Dodd has developed this course based on her own experience with daughter Issy. Issy had lost motivation and interest in her school work but was full of exciting business ideas! Issy had decided that she really wanted to set up a slime business and so asked her mum for help. Cheryl followed the structure of a course she had already been working on to support Issy's desire to start her slime business, which led to Issy's success (and the creation of the BizKidz Academy). What came as the biggest surprise was how enjoyable this time together became, working on and developing Issy's ideas daily. It really was "quality time" spent bonding over the business! 

Supportive Community

Once kids are enrolled and the Academy opens they will have access to our buzzing and supportive Academy Community Area. This is similar to a social media group though it is only accessible to those enrolled on the course and does not require any of the children to have a social media account. Within this community area, pupils and parents can share work, ideas and progress. It's a great space to support and help each other. There is also a Q&A thread within this area where questions can be posted at any time. This way nothing will be missed and pupils can help each other past getting stuck. Questions will be answered 3 times a week (at least), Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. We cannot wait to watch this community create, learn and develop together!

Business

Mentoring

Our founder, Cheryl Dodd, has a huge variety of experience and learning to share with the younger generation of future business leaders, after 22 years of creating and leading various profitable businesses. All BizKidz (and parents) will have access to weekly live group mentoring sessions with Cheryl, who has developed this course based on real life experience with her daughter. This experience alone is why she knows how to get kids engaged with business. Together, they will be practising maths that matters; calculating profit margins, sales planning and cashflow forecasting to create realistic budgets and financial planning for the future. Academy members will be using their research and creative copywriting skills to create marketing material and website content to prepare their products or to sell.
