Junior Achievement Nigeria (JAN) is organizing the Venture in Management Program (ViMP) for members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). It has designed the program to train selected NYSC members in the art of managing businesses.
The Venture in Management Program will equip its participants with the skills they need to meet the demands of a career in business management. The one week program will include classroom meetings, panel sessions, case studies, guest speakers, and study groups. These will lead up to a strategy workshop, where participants will proffer solutions to various business challenges.
The ViMP will cover case studies in marketing, strategy, business ethics, accounting and finance, general management, social enterprise, leadership, and entrepreneurship. Persons who take part in the program will also be involved in a community service project, and teach JAN programs to classes in elementary schools.
