Project Description
Entrepreneurship Education: a programme comprised of a set of training materials for entrepreneurship education and a training approach for its delivery. The KAB package is intended to provide information to develop entrepreneurial skills and prepare students and trainees to establish their own businesses at some point in the future and to be able to work productively in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The three-year pilot entails two primary elements (a) running information workshops and undertaking the preparatory work for implementing the pilot programme in the four countries and (b) working with the host country governments to implement a one-year school pilot programme and to elaborate the implementation strategy for rolling out a national entrepreneurship education programme.
Progress & Results Achieved
Results achieved as of the end of the project (March 2011) include: 140 trainers and teachers were trained and 2 020 trainees and students benefited from the Know About Business (KAB) training. The Ministry of Trade and Industry integrated the KAB program into all 35 of its training centres and the Ministry of Higher Education integrated KAB into all 29 polytechnics. These contributed developing entrepreneurial skills and preparing students and trainees to establish their own businesses.
