Future CEO
The Future CEO Program is designed to inspire young minds! Tailored for K-12 students, this program focuses on building essential life skills such as financial literacy, leadership, and entrepreneurship through real-world lessons and trivia games that are accessible and engaging. Both parents and students can choose between flexible options, including self-paced online workshops viewable nationwide and a hands-on Future CEO Bundle that includes opportunities to connect locally at our Market Day events in December and July. With five workshops led by top industry professionals (and optional bonus videos), students gain practical experience in business basics, marketing, customer service, safe food handling, and money management. These lessons offer valuable, recognized credentials, such as our Certificate of Completion, perfect for a resume or LinkedIn profile, enabling students to promote their achievements to future employers or schools. The Need: Not every classroom offers the skills students need to thrive in today’s world. Whether you’re a parent looking to help your child gain real-life skills or a student ready to start building your future, Future CEO fills that gap. Presented by JCV Wealth Management, and inspired by Career Technical Education (CTE), the program brings practical, hands-on knowledge to set young entrepreneurs up for future success.
The Future CEO program has served over 100 students since its inception, providing hands-on entrepreneurial training and real-world business experience.
Many participants have generated hundreds of dollars in revenue through their student-run businesses at community events like Market Day.
Several students have taken the next step by filing for business licenses or DBAs, turning their ideas into legitimate enterprises.
Participants have gone on to pursue higher education and business-related career paths, equipped with practical skills in marketing, sales, budgeting, and customer service.
The program has fostered partnerships with local retailers and some student products are now featured in brick-and-mortar shops, giving young entrepreneurs real market exposure.
Through mentorship and coaching, students develop critical “durable” skills such as problem-solving, public speaking, financial literacy, and leadership.
