Learners receive free entrepreneurial skills

FRANCISTOWN: Learners in Francistown have been equipped with free entrepreneurial skills to instil a culture of self-reliance within them. The empowerment project is the brainchild of Ngwana Enterprises, which is an education service provider.

Ngwana Enterprises hosted a Standard 7 Entrepreneurship Day tour, media briefing and press roundtable on Wednesday, at Diggers Inn. The event was hosted to offer in-depth understanding of what skills drive innovation and economic growth. 

Learners showed interest in these ideas and were encouraged to ask questions on the importance of creating employment for themselves instead of rushing out to look for employment after completing their studies.  Two youthful entrepreneurs, Blake Murry of Fluid Academics based in the United States of America (USA) and South African Jonas Lekganyane, founder of Noko Mashaba cartoons, were invited to offer free entrepreneurial skills to the students. The duo has been touring the country with an Ngwana Enterprise delegation conducting Standard 7 entrepreneurship tours. They have visited Orapa, Kasane, Maun and Gaborone spreading entrepreneurship skills.
