 UWI/NEDCO Entrepreneurship Boot Camp
Turn your academic knowledge and ideas into your own business
Those words were the lure for recent university graduates and final year students, enticing them into an Entrepreneurship Boot Camp.
The University of the West Indies in collaboration with the National Entrepreneurship Development Company Limited (NEDCO) and the Entrepreneurial Training Institute & Incubation Centre hosted their second Entrepreneurship Business Training Series or “Entrepreneurship Boot Camp” from July 1-6.
It focussed on the significant contribution of small and micro-enterprise economies to economic diversification and building a self-sustainable economy and provided a wide range of business concepts, real life challenges, entrepreneurial failures and successes.
The boot camp assisted graduates to develop entrepreneur-type attitudes and provided them with exclusive insight into the real life challenges of successful entrepreneurs. It also equipped them with essential business plan writing skills in a dynamic and interactive environment. The end result was an expectation that participants would see entrepreneurship as a viable option and give them the impetus to start their own business.
