Career Pathways After School: Start a Small Business

Starting a small business is an option to consider. Although experience and qualifications can be helpful in starting a business, they are not essential. There are a number of programs aimed at helping young people build their enterprise skills and develop innovative ideas. Some of these are offered at school and some are offered outside of school.
