We have a readiness-oriented approach to our mission, in handholding entrepreneurs through the development of key business resources that guarantee their readiness to seize business opportunities around them, and execute effectively.
Ethical Practice
Ethical practice is at the core of our operational and educational values. We strive to ensure our course content, operations and partnerships adhere to established ethical boundaries, and impress a strong sense of ethical consciousness on our participants, partners and staff.
Our Prospect
Undergraduates
A university education alone is often times not enough to prepare students for life after school. We aim to bridge the gap between what is learned at school and what students will face after school, by helping them develop an entrepreneurial mindset early on, that will translate what they learn at school into viable businesses.
Skilled Individuals
These persons have undergone some form of skills or vocational training, but do not know how to commercialize them. Our training will teach them to manage their skills and turn them into profitable businesses.
Business Owners
Many Nigerians turn to business as a means of surviving the job shortage. These persons often do not have formal entrepreneurship training, or a solid understanding of good business management practices. We train and equip business owners on how to scale their businesses and transform them from informal structures to formal, fully functional ones.
Aspiring Entrepreneurs
Many young people desire to become entrepreneurs and business owners, and many older people are ready to leave salaried employment for the business venturing sphere. Our goal is to teach them leadership, entrepreneurship and business management skills that will get their entrepreneurial journey started on the right foundation.
Unemployed Graduates
People who remain in Nigeria after graduating from university face a risk of unemployment or underemployment, due to the severe job scarcity in the country. We see entrepreneurship as an antidote to unemployment and aim to ingrain an entrepreneurial mindset that will set them on the path of active venturing.
Retirees
Retirees and pensioners face a danger
of not having sufficient income to
sustain them through the remainder of
their non-working years. We help them
create more options for themselves by
equipping them with entrepreneurial
skills to start their own businesses.
