SUCCESS

After conducting research with Business Development Service providers in the country (incubators, accelerators, business coaches etc.) one of the main issues highlighted is the quality of entrepreneurs entering their programs. The source of this issue is our current basic education system which places little emphasis on entrepreneurship, critical thinking and financial understanding.

 

In an effort to tackle this issue, I formed Vhaswa Vuwani (Youth Rise Up ) a 10 week free entrepreneurial programme which will help students learn how to problem solve by completing various business case studies, forming their own business ideas, doing market research, designing minimal viable products and learning basic book keeping and company valuation methods.

 

The aim of the programme is not only to promote entrepreneurship to students, it is also to equip them with tools to use if they find themselves amongst the 64.4% of those aged between 15- 24 unemployed.
