What others say

Sandra Niven, Gold Coast

“From day one, I felt genuinely supported. The training was clear, practical, and gave me the confidence to launch quickly. I never felt like I was figuring things out alone. When my first program sold out in under 24 hours, it really confirmed that I’d made the right decision.” Watch the full interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXYp4ec3SlM Joe Xu, Adelaide South & East “I saw a real gap in Adelaide for high-quality STEM programs like Young Engineers. There was nothing quite like it here at the time. With the systems and support in place, I was able to build momentum quickly. In less than nine months, we reached over 200 students per term, and the demand just keeps growing.” Watch the full interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTcZvYUyTSk

“We seriously considered starting something on our own, but when we compared that with joining Young Engineers, the decision became clear. The structure, training, and ongoing support gave us confidence from the start. It felt like a no-brainer. We could focus on building the business, not reinventing the wheel.” Watch the full interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NE_q0U5z1F0

Review of Canberra franchise

"We successfully launched our Young Engineers-Canberra in mid of 2019. At this moment of time we couldn’t have imagined a situation where we would face a pandemic that will make the world stop. While we were faced with an unprecedented situation with lockdowns, school closures and etc, as new business owners we found ourselves in the most unfortunate circumstances of not being able to conduct any of our programs. This moment was a true testament to the ethical business practices and support Young Engineers Australia gave us to manage our business and survive in these uncertain circumstances.

As a result, today, we proudly can say that we have become a successful franchise in Canberra with a profitable income providing STEM programs to children adored by many schools and parents in the ACT. We grew from 5 students to 250 students a term even in a pandemic. The continuous support in business, guidance in managing staff and general operations, providing different business tools to manage daily operations and most of all strategic thinking of the Master Franchisees definitely have contributed to the success we have achieved so far. And we aim to take this journey further and inspire many more little engineers to create and innovate with the skills of the 21st Century, today."

Review of Central Queensland franchise

Our engagement with Young Engineers started by making an expression of interest online. Within a few weeks of frequent conversations with Chintan from Young Engineers Australia, we got a thorough understanding of the business model so that we could confidently make the decision to get started. This was followed up by several other meetings that focused on various aspects of operations and delivery of content. Chintan and the Young Engineers team was very helpful by sharing tips on how to plan for events, and the wealth of templates made it really easy.

Chintan was available at every step of the way to answer questions and provide guidance. In the case of Young Engineers Central Queensland, we were working to very ambitious targets: within a month of committing to the franchise, we ran our first workshop in the Autumn holidays. That workshop sold out within 2 weeks of advertising and was a huge success that received local media attention and subsequent opportunities with schools. This success is due in no small part to the efficiency and dedication of the Young Engineers Australia team, the wealth of experience they readily share with new franchisees, and their obvious passion for educating young minds."
