Because we desire the children to gain abilities and develop competencies for life, we have built a 3-steps educational program that takes place over 3 years. 

The parent and the child can choose together if the child will go through the entire journey or he will stop at an intermediary point (for example, after the first year). The trainer has a consultant role and will make the optimate recommendation. Also, in case of a break, the child can return in the program afterwards in order to deepen and strengthen the entrepreneurial knowledge. He will be evaluated by a KEN trainer and will be proposed the proper level of education.

In the first year of study, children become familiar with the basic concepts of a business and learn that they can develop entrepreneurial projects from which they earn money.

Also, they find out what their strengths are and what it means to work in a team.

At the ending of this learning year, the children:

• Acquire a basic level of business knowledge: what is an entrepreneur, what is a business, what are the basic elements of a business (product, promotion, price, location), what forms a brand, how to build a budget
• Know more about what money is and how to manage it effectively 
• Have trained a set of essential entrepreneurial skills – teamwork, presentation and communication skills, sales techniques, creative thinking through brainstorming, goal setting
• Are exposed to the interaction with the market and thus develop their initiative and autonomy
• Gain knowledge about how to organize and manage a business, but also a business as a whole (through visits to various companies)
• Have the first sales experiences, and from one event to another, they go from an intuitive to a conscious sale
• Develop their self-confidence, their own potential and their dream.

In the second year of study, children develop their autonomy in planning and developing entrepreneurial projects. At the same time, they gain more confidence in their own strengths and those of the team.

Through interactive activities and age-appropriate games, children:

• Become familiar with the Business Model Generation Canvas model: value proposition, customer profiling, customer relationship, key partners, key activities, key resources, distribution channels, cost structure, revenue.
