The newly launched entrepreneurial program developed by Crystal Victoria is designed to help young people learn and develop key business skills. In addition, it is running alongside the Trail Blaze Pop Up Shop, which is designed to help young entrepreneurs test out their products and services in a high-traffic environment.
Although the store has currently reopened, and is in Memorial City Mall in Houston, TX, and a second store will be opening at a popular location in Dallas. The team behind Target Evolution provide training, support, resources, mentoring, and tools to help young people earn money and generate a sustainable revenue.
The program has been launched in recognition of the fact many teenagers across the United States are unmotivated and unprepared for college. Many young people that are economically disadvantaged will contribute to the growing student loan debt crisis and other societal issues.
However, research suggests that up to 70% of teenagers want to start their own business, whether as a side-project or to turn it into a large-scale business. This evidence proves there is a need for education to help teenagers earn money and learn how to effectively manage their money.
Target Evolution aims to motivate youths to develop entrepreneurial habits to pay for college or start their own business. There are four programs available including the Teen Biz Camp, which is a 4-8-week total immersion small business program, or the Legacy Builders, which is aimed at families who want to start a small business together.
Alternatively, the Textbook, Online Curriculum, & Gig Work App option allows participants to progress through a gamified online academic curriculum and receive a workbook, which teaches them how to be self-employed.
A company representative said: “Many accelerators focus heavily on a start-up’s ability to raise capital after the program as a success metric. What Target Evolution does is measure success based on traction and how much participants earn by selling their products and services to their target audience.”
“Our goal is to help young people earn money and learn business lessons while developing the skills and resilience needed to become successful, and remain successful,” they added.
