Local middle and high school students from the Young Entrepreneurs Academy Class of 2009 at both the University of Rochester and SUNY Geneseo will reveal more than two dozen new businesses to the public, at the YEA! Trade Show on Wednesday, May 27th, from 5:00PM to 7:00 PM, at the University of Rochester’s Wilson Commons.
The presentation is a culmination of nine months of hard work, resulting in the graduates owning and operating their own businesses or social movements.
At YEA! Students learn how to make a job-not take a job. They are taught by local entrepreneurs and with the help of business mentors from within the community they are able to brainstorm ideas, write business plans and actually launch their own real company.
YEA! runs during the academic year from October to June, with classes meeting on a weekly basis for a period of three hours. The program is now currently accepting applications for next year’s YEA! Class of 2010.
The Trade Show is free and open to the public, and is a great way to check out all the new innovations and services developed right in your own backyard! To learn more or to R.S.V.P, please call the Young Entrepreneurs Academy, Inc, at (585) 272-3535 or visit us online at www.yeausa.org
