Warrnambool and Moyne Business Leaders Program 2025

Have a business idea but not sure how to make it happen?

The Young Business Leaders Program is your chance to turn your ideas into reality!

Over the course of one school term period, you'll learn how to build, brand, and launch your very own business with support from industry mentors, and hands-on experience that will set you up for future success.

The program kicks off with a full-day business hackathon, where you’ll brainstorm ideas, and hear from entrepreneurs to get inspired. From there, you’ll take part in weekly virtual after-school masterclasses, where you’ll develop key skills like branding, marketing, pricing, and budgeting – everything you need to build a real business.

At the end of the program, you’ll showcase your business at a final business networking event, where you’ll present your work to the community, business leaders, and compete for your chance to win funding to bring your business to life.

Along the way, you’ll build real-world skills, expand your network, and gain hands-on experience in what it takes to run a business. Spots are limited sign up now

The program is proposed to run from 4 August to 19 September 2025, (dates to be finalised in the coming months).

This program is brought to the community by Moyne and Warrnambool City Council and is facilitated by BOP Industries.
