Leumi is a partner in this project and has supported it for more than 15 years since its establishment. Each year more than 3,000 young people from all parts of the country participate in an educational and challenging program, during the course of which they gain experience in setting up and managing businesses, while learning the principles of entrepreneurship and business practice. The program's participants originate from all sectors of Israeli society – veteran Israelis, new immigrants and young people from the Arab sector.
The 2006-2007 year of activity was opened with the commencement of the academic year at schools and high schools. As part of this project, some 180 groups were set up throughout the country, supported by numerous instructors from among Leumi’s employees. This year, as last year, Leumi assisted through a designated contribution of "Follow Me" to finance the participation of schools in the program. The schools who received financing for their participation in the program were chosen by the Young Entrepreneurs, upon encountering problems with financing their portion of the program.
