Institutional Collaborations
Enlargement and ecosystem development
We collaborate with institutions to develop entrepreneurial ecosystems and enable the structured expansion of the Junior Enterprise model.
Institutional partners engage with Junior Enterprises Global where objectives include strengthening local opportunity, supporting youth-led enterprise structures, and anchoring practical entrepreneurship within universities and local economies. We approach enlargement as a long-term development pathway, grounded in local realities and designed for continuity.
Collaboration can support the emergence of new Junior Enterprises, the development of enabling frameworks, and the coordination of actors who share a common interest in youth employment, innovation, and inclusive growth.
Skills and capacity building
Institutions work with us to strengthen applied skills and professional readiness through youth-led delivery and structured learning formats.
Junior Enterprises sit at the interface between education and economic life. This makes the network well suited for institutional collaborations focused on skills development, employability, and the practical application of knowledge, including in areas such as digital transformation and sustainability.
We support collaborations that prioritise tangible learning outcomes, responsible implementation, and the reinforcement of youth agency, while maintaining coherence across countries and contexts.
Co-creation of papers and knowledge outputs
We co-create research informed outputs with institutions to translate field insight into usable knowledge for policy, programmes, and practice.
Junior Enterprises Global collaborates on papers, briefs, and knowledge outputs where partners seek grounded insight from entrepreneurial youth and university-based enterprise structures. We contribute network perspective, access to field-level experience, and an implementation lens that keeps outputs operational rather than abstract.
We treat knowledge work as a collaborative process, anchored in evidence, and designed to be actionable.
Where our Alumni shape the future of work
Success Story
Collaboration with France Expertise for the creation of JE Libya
In late October 2024, members of Junior Enterprises from universities in Tripoli and Benghazi took part in a structured exchange visit to Tunis, hosted in collaboration with Junior Enterprise Tunisia. The initiative focused on strengthening cooperation between emerging student-led enterprises in Libya and supporting their alignment with international Junior Enterprise standards. Through targeted workshops and working sessions, participants assessed local needs and explored pathways towards the establishment of a national Junior Enterprise framework in Libya. The initiative forms part of a broader effort to embed practical entrepreneurship within Libyan universities, enabling students to gain hands-on organisational and professional experience.
