Tsu’Chu Biz is a unique intensive four day experiential learning course for young people aged 13-19 that teaches entrepreneurship, how to start up a small business for real and develop the necessary personal qualities and business skills needed to do so.
Tsu’Chu Biz fills several gaps in the mainstream education by focusing on Entrepreneurship, Business Finance, Teamship, Leadership, Stress Management & Personal Development. The content of the course draws together an eclectic mix of positive values, skills, techniques, processes, attitudes, practices, knowledge and wisdom gathered from the worlds of business, sport, counselling, coaching and mentoring. The result is an academically robust holistic learning experience that exercises young people physically, emotionally, mentally and intellectually - and it is fun too!
'Work at What You Love’. By capturing each young person’s passion, interests and talents and reframing them into small money making ideas, the young people go on to write a 10 page business plan. On the final afternoon, as sole traders or in partnerships they make a PowerPoint presentation of their business to a panel of successful entrepreneur judges in front of an audience of family, friends and peers for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place cash prizes.
The young entrepreneur owners of these small but viable fledgling start-ups are then offered voluntary business mentors to help them go forward.
The course uses the power and passion of ‘the beautiful game’ (football) as the teacher; a game, which contrary to popular belief originated in Ancient China over 2500 years ago - known as Tsu’Chu!
So what’s Football got to do with Entrepreneurship & Life Skills? 
Football has journeyed from a hobby, to a game, to a profession, to a global business. Within the world of football, passion, business and life go hand in hand. Football has seen more life and more changes than any business you can imagine. It is for this reason we believe it has all the ingredients to evolve even further and become an inspirational teacher.
The youth of the world today are drawn to football as much for the game itself, as for the fashion icons it produces; they are drawn to it as much for the heroes they love to follow as for its tribal culture. Football affords young people an opportunity to experience a powerful sense of belonging, very much a part of youth culture today. Football is non sectarian and multi cultural. It speaks one language yet is a hotbed of diversity. It has many opportunities as a tool for learning.
At its best, the game of football embraces and embodies positive life values such as collaboration, fairness, self discipline, courage, respect, responsibility, teamship and 
leadership.
Start up a game of football and what is required? A Leader; a vision, a plan; clear roles and responsibilities; understanding of the competition; risk taking; filling gaps on the pitch; quick thinking; managing pressure; teamwork; knowing strengths and weaknesses of your own team and the competition. It’s easy for kids to experience the similarities between this and starting up a small business. Add investment, understanding finances, ownership roles, negotiations, forward planning, marketing, the role of PR and media, technology ... the list is endless!
This potent mix of values, interests, skills, activity and passion that football contains, in the right hands, lend themselves perfectly to using the game of football as a channel, a great teacher of valuable business and life skills that can complement and add value to the current education system of our young people.
By uniquely using the game of football as the experiential learning medium it immediately attracts those youngsters to a learning experience who might otherwise have no 
interest in the course topics. Even those youngsters, girls and boys who have no interest in the game, become intrigued by the learning approach. They have fun, get a serious physical ‘workout’ each day and end up telling the delivery mentors they want more football! Equally importantly we have found that this learning approach has had a major impact on how much time the young people are willing to spend in the learning zone, longer working hours than their normal school days.
The Entrepreneurial Spirit: Take the passion, interest, team cooperation, tactics, creativity and leadership within football and mix it with the unlikely partner of learning how business and finance really works, to produce young people with an entrepreneurial spirit, empowered, inspired and knowledgeable about becoming business owners and leaders; provoking the attitude of a job maker as an alternative to a job taker.
Teenagers in general assume they will go on from school, perhaps to 6th form college, perhaps on to university and then get a job, if they can. But there is another choice. Tsu’Chu Biz believes that there is a gap in the education of our young people and that is in the area of Entrepreneurship. Not just business and enterprise. Entrepreneurship is different. We help young people recognize the traits and attitudes of successful entrepreneurship, even to see it as a chosen lifestyle; we help them see how the spirit of entrepreneurship embraces a certain attitude, passion, styles of leadership, creativity, self discipline, drive and determination, teamwork, even an ability to accept ‘failure’ as acceptable and find a creative way to be able to use it as a stepping stone from which to learn; we work to help youngsters become more self aware and channel their passion and interests positively.
We encourage them to ‘Work at What They Love’. We know that all young people deep inside have a dream, a talent, an interest and as they take that interest forward, the traits and attitudes of the entrepreneur begin to show. The spirit of entrepreneurship blossoms!
