School Entrepreneurship Education Program (SEEP) seeks to empower youths through entrepreneurship education in high schools. Starting from Form 2 (13-14 years old) to Form 6 (18-19 year old) the program is using practical business skills to learners to encourage entrepreneurship during and after school days. The program follows the philosophy that entrepreneurship education promotes creation of businesses, employment creation, development of and learning of non-cognitive skills, such as opportunity recognition, innovation, critical thinking, resilience, decision making, teamwork, and leadership will benefit all youths whether or not they intend to become or continue with entrepreneurship. Our goal is to promote quality education that meets the 21st century skills such as creativity, communication, problem solving, decision making and critical thinking among other skills through experiential education. Objectives
1. Teach financial literacy among teenage learners.
2. Train practical entrepreneurship among learners through school based enterprises.
3. Instruct 21st century critical skills through experiential learning. Implementation SEEP use experiential learning taking learners through a 12 weeks entrepreneurial journey that involves theoretical and practical exercises. Learners are given tasks of specific business areas and are encouraged to take practical steps to fulfill the demands of those tasks. As the program goes, learners will be building up their business plan which will undergo implementation from Week 7 to Week 11. The program also includes mentors (resource persons) from the business community who come and share their expertise on various business areas such as marketing, accounting, human resources among other areas.

The School Entrepreneurship Education Program aims at producing high school learners who are entrepreneurial and financially literate. This vision is being carried out through assisting learners to create and run school based enterprises, selling real products or services, to real customers and making real profits (or losses). We are currently running the program at one girls high school in Bulawayo and have taught entrepreneurship education on 90 girls while 30 girls have set up two school based companies since 2019. Learners who were part of the pilot project in 2017/2018 have set up their own enterprises while awaiting going to university while others, three have enrolled with the Africa Leadership University as a result of the inspiration the got from the SEEP initiative. The program thus looks forward to creating a pool of young entrepreneurs who will leverage on their skills and societal problems to start their own enterprises and thus create employment for their kith and kin. For those who choose to be employees, the program will help them navigate the 21st century with different core skills they would have acquired through experiential learning. Upon acceleration, we look forward at expanding the program into ten more schools in Bulawayo province and reach out to more learners.
