End of Programme
Mini CEO Market Day
At the end of each programme cycle, learners will participate in a Mini CEO Market Day — a celebration of everything they have learned and built.
Parents, families, and the community are invited to come and support their young entrepreneurs as they showcase their products, ideas, and skills in a real-world setting. It is a moment of celebration, pride, and practical application.
Young Entrepreneurs in Action
Children present their projects, sell their products, and demonstrate the skills they have developed throughout the programme — in front of a real audience.
Mini CEO Certificate of Completion
Learners who complete the Mini CEO programme receive an official Mini CEO Certificate of Completion — a tangible recognition of their hard work, growth, and achievement.
This certificate is more than just a document. It is proof that your child showed up, worked hard, and built something meaningful.
