Fast Track Challenge – Programme Report March/April 2025

Programme Overview

The Earniversity Fast Track Challenge continued its mission to empower young people with practical, income-generating skills, confidence, and an entrepreneurial mindset. Over a five-week journey from 3 March to 2 April 2025, students engaged in 10 interactive live classes, exploring real-world strategies in reselling, in-person services, digital skills, and freelancing.

Due to the overlap with exam preparation time and the Easter break, students were granted a two-week extension to complete their Final Projects. The course concluded with a lively and well-attended online
Awards Ceremony on 30 April, held in the Earniversity Digital Academy. The energy was electric, with proud participants and families joining to celebrate the incredible achievements of the cohort.
