"As head of the Ernst & Young Family Business Center of Excellence, the Junior Academy is very close to my heart. Seeing young people from family businesses literally grow during the course of the week is a privilege. I am delighted to present to you our concept for 2012."

Transferring entrepreneurship
To succeed for generations, family businesses need an entrepreneurial spirit that not only ensures that the pioneering mind-set and values that established the business continue to flourish, but that also creates future opportunities to deliver innovation and financial and social value. However, when planning for business succession, potential business leaders may benefit from a little encouragement. The next generation is sometimes unsure that following their parent’s path is right for them. In a world full of opportunities, they have to find a balance between their own interests and dreams, and the expectations of their family.
With the Ernst & Young Junior Academy Program, we have established a range of unique and exclusive one-week training events which help the next generation to explore their individual potential and introduce them to the challenges of running a family business. The highly enjoyable activities give young adults the chance to explore their interests and give voice to their own needs for the future.
The sky's the limit. Booster ignition and liftoff in our Junior Academy Program, paving the way for future missions beyond!
