About the Course
The 4-day workshop integrates the core business disciplines of entrepreneurship, marketing, finance, accounting, and management with essential personal finance standards. Students learn through real-world applications, case studies, and projects that simulate authentic scenarios, such as creating a comprehensive personal financial plan or developing a business idea. It is centered on empowering students to make informed, responsible decisions that lead to financial stability and career success. Participants will guide students to concentrate on hands-on, real-world simulations where they can develop essential financial literacy and workforce-ready skills.
