Overview
Now entering its seventh year, NECINA YES is an annual educational
program designed to train high school and undergraduate students, with
curriculum focusing on leadership and entrepreneurship, at no cost to
participants.
Quick facts about YES:
10 classes on alternating Saturdays commencing September 22nd.
5 learning points: Business Plans, Product Conceptualization, Company
Structure, Finance, Sales and Marketing.
1 soft-skill training session: Public Speaking and Presentation Skills.
1 Competition to win the YES Awards
Many opportunities to meet face-to-face with amazing entrepreneurs and
other industry leaders who will help advise and mentor YES
participants.
So...what about YES 7.0?
This year's YES theme is "Make Our Cities Smarter". We will encourage
YES teams to conceptualize, detail, and develop mobile applications
that can have a positive impact on our metropolitan areas. Each YES
team can incorporate their big ideas into their plan for the
application, and with the support of NECINA, could move from idea to
reality! Technical skills are not required, as NECINA and YES will
help teams understand development needs, and provide tools to guide
each team to success.

creator, and team member.
Business Knowledge - Gain business knowledge not included in high
school curricula.
