One hundred and sixty participants of the world’s first Online Short-Term Entrepreneurship Programme for School Students of Grade 6 to 12 were congratulated upon completion of their programme at a virtual ceremony presided over by the management team of White Canvas India (WCI) and mentors from several Indian Institute of Managements all over India.
WCI is an 8-year-old student and parent engagement company with 2 National Records, based in Noida, India.
Designed by WCI in collaboration with mentors from IIM, LSR, Forbes magazine, Harvard Business Review and several leading entrepreneurs, the 6-month entrepreneurship programme enables students at an early age to learn skills like identifying opportunity, problem solving, risk taking, critical thinking, idea to execution etc and many more.
The first batch commenced classes on July 25 with 40 participants from all over India. The certification programme, including 100 credits, was delivered through online webinars, case studies, assignments, live projects and final evaluation. All passing out students have created their new entrepreneurship and registered them in an exclusive student’s catalogue.
“The programme imparted skills to prospective young student entrepreneurs at an early age and empowered them to take on entrepreneurship. This will help them grow their confidence, experiment more and make them future-ready and create more options for their career.”
“This initiative is in sync with our plans to empower students to become ‘Future Ready’ and contributes to building a new India in compliance with our prime minister’s vision,” said Samaresh Shah, Founder Director of White Canvas India. It has drawn up plans to give New India over 50,000 Young CEO over the next five years.
Besides India, the Young CEO programme is being facilitated for students from the US, UK, UAE, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Australia.
