​

This progamme is a unique 'step-by-step' blended learning entrepreneurship training programme for young people – using both on-line and off-line training activities and international guest speakers.

​

The programme will not only cover practical business related activities such as finance and marketing but also cover issues the young entrepreneur needs to be aware of.

 

Passion. Most entrepreneurs are driven by a passion for their business. It is the force that keeps them burning the midnight oil, working weekends and holidays. A sincere belief that the work they are doing is important can keep the entrepreneur working through rough times.

​

Tenacity. When things are going well, it is easy to go to work. The successful entrepreneur, however, continues to work even when things get difficult. When faced with failure, the entrepreneur refuses to give up and will find ways to be successful, despite roadblocks that may occur.

 

Vision. Seeing a path to success is a trait that entrepreneurs possess. The entrepreneur can set a path towards the vision that they have for their business.

 

Self-confidence. An entrepreneur has the confidence that they will be able to succeed, and is more willing to take risks because of that self-confidence. They know that they are in a unique position to succeed, due to their confidence in their abilities.

 

Flexibility. The role of an entrepreneur demands flexibility. Being able to make changes, take on additional job responsibilities or move the business in a different direction is a key characteristic of a successful entrepreneur.

 

Rule-breaking. A willingness to break the rules is another important aspect of a successful entrepreneur. By defying conventional wisdom, the entrepreneur is able to create new technologies, processes and products that revolutionize the business world.

 

Tolerance for fear. It can be frightening to assume the risk of starting a business and venture into an unknown field or ask for funding for a product that doesn’t yet exist. The entrepreneur must be able to move beyond the fear by harnessing it and using it as fuel.​​​​
