Today the tenth batch of young people completed entrepreneurship lessons as part of the overall Business Skills Training curriculum. The focus of the entrepreneurship lessons is to equip young people, with a special preference for young mothers, with the knowledge and tools for how to choose, plan and run a successful enterprise, be it individually or as a group. Over the course of three weeks, the participants formed seven group enterprises, each of which wrote a detailed business plan exploring all facets of business, including but not limited to: list of business needs and projected start-up costs, selling prices of goods and services, how to raise capital, customers and competitors of the business, separating start-up and continuing activities, drafting a group business constitution, making a plan for testing production, selling preparations, record keeping, advertising, customer service, and criteria for future business expansion. All entrepreneurship lessons were taught by EBLI staff member, Lucy Metha, and Maryknoll Lay Missioner, Michael Leen, with much assistance from former young mother, Neema Jeremiah. 

Tomorrow this tenth batch of young people will continue their Business Skills Training by learning how to apply for and attain gainful employment, including how to write a cover letter, curriculum vitae (C.V.), and how to prepare for and conduct an interview. These lessons will be instructed by EBLI staff member ,Elizabeth Geoffrey, and INTERTEAM volunteer, Tobias Peltenburg, with occasional assistance from the aforementioned instructors of entrepreneurship lessons. 

The ultimate goal of Business Skills Training is to empower these young people to attain economic emancipation and rise out of poverty through strategically planned income-generating activities, enabling them to joyfully and confidently live a full and dignified life.
