KEN Academy<\/strong> este primul program de educa\u021bie antreprenorial\u0103 \u0219i financiar\u0103 creat \u0219i dedicat copiilor din Rom\u00e2nia, lansat \u00een regim de pilot \u00een anul \u0219colar 2012 -2013, de Liviu \u00a0Lep\u0103datu, antreprenor cu experien\u021b\u0103 \u00een IT \u0219i real-estate \u0219i Carmen Iorgulescu, psiholog \u0219i trainer. Prima serie de cursan\u021bi KEN a num\u0103rat 18 <\/strong>\u00a0elevi cu v\u00e2rsta cuprins\u0103 \u00eentre 7 \u0219i 13 ani ai c\u0103ror p\u0103rin\u021bi doreau s\u0103-i ajute s\u0103-\u0219i dezvolte abilit\u0103\u021bi extra-curriculare. La zece ani de la lansare, num\u0103rul elevilor KEN a crescut de mai bine de aproape 20 de ori, dep\u0103\u0219ind 300<\/strong> de cursan\u021bi \u00eentr-un an \u0219colar.<\/p>\n

\u201dKEN Academy a pornit din dorin\u021ba de a oferi copiilor rom\u00e2ni instrumentele necesare pentru a deveni antreprenori sau a lua cele mai bune decizii financiare, ca adul\u021bi. Eu sunt antreprenor, fac business de la \u00eenceputul anilor 90 \u0219i tot ce am \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat despre domeniu a fost din experien\u021b\u0103 proprie. S\u0103 le oferi copiilor \u0219ansa s\u0103 \u00ee\u0219i dezvolte abilit\u0103\u021bi antreprenoriale \u0219i o g\u00e2ndire independent\u0103 c\u00e2t mai devreme \u00een via\u021b\u0103 \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u0103 le pui la dispozi\u021bie instrumentele necesare pentru a avea succes c\u00e2t mai devreme \u00een via\u021b\u0103. Mi-am dorit s\u0103 fac acest proiect \u0219i m\u0103 bucur c\u0103 am reu\u0219it s\u0103 g\u0103sesc \u0219i partenerul de proiect potrivit. Al\u0103turi de Carmen, am reu\u0219it s\u0103 demonstr\u0103m c\u0103 antreprenoriatul \u00eenseamn\u0103 un set de valori, de principii, de g\u00e2ndire inovativ\u0103 \u00eenainte de bani \u0219i \u00een acela\u0219i timp am convins multe \u0219coli din Rom\u00e2nia s\u0103 ni se al\u0103ture. Sunt m\u00e2ndru c\u0103 \u00een acest moment, datorit\u0103 KEN Academy, Rom\u00e2nia are un poten\u021bial\/o pepinier\u0103 de 4.000 de viitori antreprenori, \u0219tiut fiind c\u0103 peste tot \u00een lume, ini\u021biativa privat\u0103 este motorul dezvolt\u0103rii economice<\/em>\u201d, a declarat Liviu Lep\u0103datu<\/strong>, fondator KEN Academy.<\/p>\n

Dup\u0103 doi ani de la lansare, KEN Academy a atras primul partener, Banca Transilvania, cunoscut\u0103 \u00a0drept \u201dbanca \u00eentreprinz\u0103torilor rom\u00e2ni\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201dKEN Academy a pornit ca o provocare: s\u0103 ajut\u0103m copiii s\u0103 dob\u00e2ndeasc\u0103\u00a0 un set de abilit\u0103\u021bi antreprenoriale. A fost un parcurs pe c\u00e2t de frumos pe at\u00e2t de greu, am plecat la drum \u00eentr-un moment \u00een care, \u00een Rom\u00e2nia, se vorbea mult despre antreprenoriat, dar ca atribut al lumii adul\u021bilor nicidecum ca apanaj \u00een educa\u021bia copilului. Nivelul de \u00eencredere la acel moment \u00een concept \u0219i instrumentele sale era unul sc\u0103zut \u00eens\u0103 prezentul ne arat\u0103 c\u0103 am pus la punct un program solid de dezvoltare a copiilor iar perseveren\u021ba, inova\u021bia, seriozitatea \u0219i stabilitatea noastr\u0103 ca echip\u0103 au sus\u021binut la dezvoltarea conceputului. Cu ajutorul echipei, p\u0103rin\u021bi \u0219i traineri, KEN nu mai este doar un program, este un trend iar cifrele demonstreaz\u0103 pe deplin succesul demersului \u00eenceput acum 10 ani. Num\u0103rul copiilor care intr\u0103 \u00een programele KEN Academy cre\u0219te organic cu 15-30% \u00een fiecare an \u0219colar, pentru c\u0103 \u00eenv\u0103\u021b\u0103m business prin joc \u0219i joac\u0103<\/em>\u201d, a declarat Carmen Iorgulescu<\/strong>, director executiv KEN Academy.<\/p>\n

Cursurile KEN Academy se desf\u0103\u0219oar\u0103 pe parcursul unui an \u0219colar, sunt op\u021bionale \u0219i pot fi accesate at\u00e2t online c\u00e2t \u0219i offline. Pe parcursul programului educa\u021bional, elevii dob\u00e2ndesc cuno\u0219tin\u021be financiare \u0219i de business, abilit\u0103\u021bi antreprenoriale \u0219i de comunicare, \u00eenva\u021b\u0103 s\u0103 g\u00e2ndeasc\u0103, s\u0103 ia decizii \u0219i s\u0103 ac\u021bioneze ca antreprenori. Pandemia declan\u0219at\u0103 \u00een 2020 a reprezentat \u0219i a fost valorificat\u0103 ca o oportunitate de cre\u0219tere \u0219i dezvoltare a programului KEN Academy, a fost momentul \u00een care fondatorii programului au decis s\u0103 deschid\u0103 \u0219i mai larg por\u021bile, prin deschiderea acces\u0103rii online a cursurilor \u0219i lansarea unui program gratuit destinat tuturor copiilor din Rom\u00e2nia. Astfel, KEN \u0219i-a completat seria modulelor consacrate \u0219i a taberelor KEN Business Camps \u0219i a creat premisele dezvolt\u0103rii la nivel na\u021bional \u0219i interna\u021bional.<\/p>\n

\u201dKEN Academy este un program care s-a autofinan\u021bat \u00eenc\u0103 de la \u00eenceput. Costurile pentru program pe parcursul unui an \u0219colar sunt cuprinse \u00eentre 3.200 \u0219i 5.500 Ron, pentru fiecare cursant, \u00een func\u021bie de programul ales \u0219i ne bucur\u0103m s\u0103 vedem c\u0103 de la un an la altul cererea cre\u0219te. De aceea, lu\u0103m \u00een calcul ca \u00een viitorul apropiat, s\u0103 acceler\u0103m extinderea programului, at\u00e2t pe pia\u021ba rom\u00e2neasc\u0103 c\u00e2t \u0219i interna\u021bional\u0103, iar solu\u021bia la care ne g\u00e2ndim este dezvoltarea prin intermediul francizei. Este o provocare \u00eens\u0103 avem \u00eencredere \u00een stabilitatea proiectului demonstrat\u0103 \u00een primii zece ani de activitate<\/em>\u201d, a ad\u0103ugat directorul executiv KEN Academy.<\/p>\n
