Youth Entrepreneurship Training Camp(YETC)

YETC is designed for the vocational school students and the junior and high school students in poor areas, which aims to teach them knowledge and skills of entrepreneurship.
Currently, it is very common that vocational schools have their job counseling services. But very few of them deliver training in entrepreneurship. For the schools who have such training, they don't have well-developed training materials and methodologies, the materials cannot meet the needs on the ground. To fill the gap, it is necessary to introduce NFTE's entrepreneurship training into these schools.
This project not only introduces NFTE into the curriculums of the vocational schools but also runs entrepreneurship camps for the junior and high school students in the remote areas. The students can learn the fundamentals of commerce and apply their knowledge in the real world.

Purpose of the Project

To work with China Vocational Education Association, education bureaus, vocational schools to provide trainers' training and support their entrepreneurship training programs, such as Youth Entrepreneurship Camps and other public benefit programs; these will allow the students to apply the knowledge in the real world and make them to look at issues in a different perspective and build their own confidence.
