A New Way To Approach Youth Engagement

The J.O.B.S. Program is to assist aspiring young entrepreneurs in developing basic business management skills, refining business concepts, devising early-stage marketing plans, and preparation of action plans. This program is headed up by Dr. Jah Jah Shakur, a pioneer in the field of Hip Hop entrepreneurship. To reach out directly, send emails to jah(at)hiphopbusiness.co.

We use Hip Hop Entrepreneurship as a way to provide youth an escape from urban poverty, crime, violence, and of course low access to quality education.

By the end of the program participants will have started their first business, made a business plan, and will have attempted to sell their first service or product.

Lessons provide a relevant, engaging curriculum, and the program integrates academics with job training.

Let us help you reach at-risk youth and improve the work of underperforming students.

Our curriculum provides a 3 month (12 week) program for at-risk and justice-involved youths. Using state standard Common Core Curriculum and essential S.T.E.A.M. skills, we work with students to teach them how to start, grow, and maintain their own small business & micro-enterprises through real life examples of Hip Hop entrepreneurship.

 

Our Hip Hop J.O.B.S. program engages students in a wide range of activities that require them to be informed, skilled, thoughtful and adaptable. Through practical and real-life contexts, learners plan and set goals when carrying out collaborative tasks and evaluate progress. They work together to locate and record information from a range of sources and learn to discriminate between fact and opinion and question the reliability of evidence. Crucially, through experimenting with their own and others’ ideas, they become skillfull and confident in entrepreneurial thinking, willing to take risks with ideas.
