Do you want to earn money? Do you dream about being your own boss? Do you have a lot of great ideas about making money but don't know how to implement those ideas? Or do you just want to get a job but lack the skills to do so?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions and are between the ages of 12 to 16, then the Business Entrepreneur Program at S.TA.R.S. is for you! In this new program, young men and women will learn how to start their own business, create a business plan, play the stock market game, and so much more. They will get career experience in addition to learning valuable skills for today's job market, including how to approach a job interview and write a resume.

S.T.A.R.S. is currently recruiting responsible, eager and hard working individuals. However, you must interview with us to be accepted into the program. At the end of this training session, those that qualify may be matched with jobs. The program is free! For more information, contact S.TA.R.S. at (718) 845-6956.
