The initiative is implemented under the Entrepreneurship Study program run by Żabka chain.
– We are developing several educational initiatives dedicated to entrepreneurship. We share our expertise and many years of experience, including with young people. Entrepreneurship is an attitude that is not only useful in work and your own business but is also extremely valuable daily, in other areas of life. You can develop these predispositions, or you can strengthen individual skills in the educational process, in areas like the one that we have developed together with TEB Education. This will enable future entrepreneurs to build their business more consciously in the chosen model – stresses Przemysław Kijewski, COO in Żabka Polska.

During the course, participants will gain knowledge in the field of entrepreneurship, finance, and running their own business. In addition, they will gain the ability to create a business plan, build brand image and conduct marketing campaigns. During the classes, modules in the scope of building teams and selecting the model of running your own business (including franchise as one of the safest business models) will be realized.
Among the lecturers, there will be employees and collaborators of Żabka, including Jacek Urbański – Manager for Development Training in Żabka Polska, and Mikołaj Szyc – Acceleration Specialist from Żabka Future.
– In the network of TEB Education schools we teach over 90 courses in a wide variety of industries (including cosmetics, medical, veterinary, and Art & Design). In response to the needs of people who are interested in starting their own business and thanks to cooperation with Żabka Polska, the degree course „ABC Business – The Basics of Your Own Business“ was created. In the process of creating the above-mentioned course, the practical experience of one of the largest franchisors in the country and the nearly thirty-year experience of TEB Education in education adapted both to the expectations of the listeners and to the needs of the labor market were used. Thanks to the classes with apprenticeships, students will have the opportunity to use solutions proven in real market conditions –says Julita Plura-Broniszewska, Product Manager in TEB Education.
