The Peter Jones Enterprise Academy (PJEA) is our flagship Educate Programme and includes our full suite of sector leading vocational courses and qualifications in Enterprise and Entrepreneurship.
Running a PJEA involves offering our extended programmes of Level 3 BTEC or A Level study for your students.
We offer a comprehensive package of resources and support, including competitions and links to employers, enabling your students to gain skills that are vital to progress to higher education, employment or to run their own business.
Each year we launch National Entrepreneur of the Year, our flagship competition for the most entrepreneurial 16-21 year olds across the UK. Applicants need to complete a business plan and submit an elevator pitch video, for the chance to pitch to Peter Jones CBE and a panel of judges and secure a £10,000 grant for their business, alongside mentorship.
With the incredible support of FRP Advisory, the competition offers the following awards:
Our Home Academy programme is an online platform particularly for young people outside of mainstream education who are interested in developing enterprise skills.
At the heart of Home Academy is a 36-hour course, which offers an introduction to business and entrepreneurship. In addition, subscribers gain access to monthly resources developed with businesses, industry experts, and founders.
We are very proud to have a strong and diverse network of alumni. Students that graduate from any PJEA course automatically become enrolled onto our Alumni programme where they can continue to enjoy benefits such as mentoring, networking events and other opportunities.
Our commitment is to support graduates of our programme into any pathway such as starting a business, securing a job or an apprenticeship, or a place on an HE or FE programme of study.
