Junior Entrepeneur Project

Junior Entrepeneur Project 2015-2016



The Junior Entrepreneur Programme (JEP) is a 10 - 16 week entrepreneurial education programme for primary school pupils. 

This innovative programme opens the minds of primary school pupils to the joy of entrepreneurship at a time in their lives when they are full of imagination and open to new possibilities. The programme helps participating pupils to develop a number of skills including literacy, writing, presentation, drawing, technology, research skills, numeracy, financial, consumer awareness, storytelling, listening skills, creative thinking, problem solving, team building and collaboration skills.

The programme has a significant personal development impact on participating pupils, building confidence, self-awareness and self-esteem, and an appreciation of individual skills and talents.

JEP was founded in County Kerry in 2010 by Jerry Kennelly, Tweak. com, the Institute of Technology, Tralee, Mary Immaculate College of Education, Limerick and Shannon Development, with the aim of fostering and nurturing an entrepreneurial culture, at an appropriate level, among primary school children. The programme has been running in Kerry & Limerick since 2011 and nationally thereafter.

The Junior Entrepreneur Programme ( JEP) aims to help children recognise enterprise and entrepreneurship and to foster an awareness and understanding of the entrepreneur’s role in the community  therefore empowering the child to start to think and act with initiative, creativity , independence and ideas that are invaluable in the modern world. 

Sixth class have been involved in The Junior Entrepreneur Programme for the last number of weeks and met the 'Dragons' on Tuesday to pitch their ideas to them.

In  6th class, we are doing the
