More than just Financial Literacy – Our Starz Youth Enterprise course turns young people into the CEO’s of tomorrow.
Starz gives educators a structured programme that builds financial literacy, enterprise skills and confidence — plus lesson plans, an Innovation Hub, and a practical route into business fairs and local opportunities.
One educator licence includes up to 20 learner seats. Need more? Add extra seats individually, or scale with multiple licences for larger cohorts.

Lesson plan structure, learner tasks, and a pathway you can run weekly.
Perfect for portfolios, employability outcomes and “show your work” proof.
Link your learners into business fairs, practical challenges and wider opportunities.
Use Starz as a full programme, a weekly enterprise club, or a term-based project. The educator licence is designed to reduce planning time while improving learner outcomes.
You can run Starz as a weekly programme or as a project sprint. These three “quick watch” clips explain setup, delivery and your business fair pathway.
Starz is designed to create visible outputs: plans, pricing, pitches, reflections, and real-world activity. That proof is what makes parents, inspectors and stakeholders trust the impact.
Tip: Use the checklist to build learner portfolios for employability, inspection evidence and parent updates.
Some settings use Starz alone, others add support for learners who need more confidence or structure.
One licence can run Starz across a class, youth group, or alternative provision cohort. Learners complete missions, build evidence, and finish with a mini-showcase or full business fair.
Clear answers for schools, youth groups and alternative provision settings.
One licence covers up to 20 learners at a time. You can rotate cohorts across the year, and add extra seats if you need more than 20 running simultaneously.
Yes. Run it as a weekly programme (steady progress) or a sprint (e.g. 4–6 weeks) ending in a showcase. The lesson plan template keeps delivery consistent either way.
Learners can build evidence as they complete missions and projects, supported by mentoring/coaching if you want it. You can align outcomes to recognised frameworks (e.g. AQA/ASDAN/NCFE/STEM) as appropriate.
A growing library of supplementary courses and resources that extend the core Starz pathway — useful for enrichment, employability, confidence and money skills.
No — you can finish with a classroom showcase. But the “how-to” guide makes it easy to scale to a fair when you’re ready (pricing, stalls, pitches and roles).
Yes. Mentoring and coaching can support learners with confidence, pitching and progress check-ins — especially helpful for learners who need encouragement or extra structure.
Start with a licence, download the lesson plan template, and follow the pathway to a business fair outcome. We’ll help you keep it simple, structured, and high impact.
