Camp to create entrepreneurs
By James Kon MYBE
Management Services will organise a
business camp living the school holiday this September, bearing the
theme "Empowering Brunei's Future Leaders Through
Entrepreneurship". Like similar camps elsewhere, the MYBE
business camp is aimed at accelerating the "process of learning,
experiencing and acquiring business skills through direct exposure to
a simulated real-life business environment for budding entrepreneurs
of all ages." MYBE Management Services is a 100% bumiputera
company that offers business services that range from business
start-up facilitation and book-keeping, to secretarial and training
services.
The camp will be "packed with
fun and games" aimed promoting entrepreneurial skills.
Participants will be youngsters between the ages of 6 to 18. The
registration fee for participants in the age group of 6 to 9 years
olds will be $80, while those older will have to pay $100.
The objective of the programme is to
produce individuals endowed in entrepreneurial skills. This will give
them the "creativity, leadership and mental toughness"
needed to contend with today's technology-inclined era.
The managing director of MYBE, Pg
Khairol Pg Sabtu, said 95 % of businesses fail in the first five years
of their operation, mainly due to their failure to manage three major
elements of business - cash flow, clients and products.
MYBE seeks to help companies to solve
such problems. Apart from educating the future generation through the
business camp, MYBE could also help promote entrepreneurship as a
career choice among Brunei's youngsters while changing their attitude
from a "looking for a job" mindset to a "creating
jobs" mentality.
At the same time, the MYBE business
camps may help to build new generations of successful entrepreneurs.
Participants will be given the chance to try out their newly acquired
business skills by taking part in the MYBE Brunei Business Camp Trade
Fair at the Yayasan SHHB Shopping Complex.
