More than just Financial Literacy – Our Starz Youth Enterprise course turns young people into the CEO’s of tomorrow.
Help your child turn enterprise learning into real-world evidence — with a simple, game-like “Work Experience Passport” that links back to Starz Academy, Mentoring, and Coaching.
Tick off the “quests”, unlock badges, and build proof of skills. Use Mentoring for insight and inspiration, and Coaching for goals + accountability.
Pick an industry (e.g., retail, sport, tech, creative, community).
List strengths, hobbies, and one “I can do” skill.
Email or message a local organisation with a short intro.
Use Coaching to practise clear answers and calm nerves.
Write what they did, what they learned, what they’d do next time.
Tip: If you’re using accreditation, this passport becomes a tidy place to keep evidence and reflections.
Select a few options and generate a practical plan you can save, send to a coach, or print. This links naturally into World of Work, CV Jump Start, and Interview Success.
Safeguarding note: placements should always be age-appropriate and supervised, with parental consent and safe communication routes.
Choose options and click “Generate Plan”.
Choose an interest, then shortlist a few organisations to contact. When you’re ready, generate a parent-safe application message and save it.
Tip: shortlist 2–3 organisations, then send one message per organisation.
This template is designed to be respectful, clear, and age-appropriate. It avoids over-sharing and keeps safeguarding in mind.
