The foundations that I learnt from young enterprise are still valid in my work today. One has to appreciate the program as it gives you a business acumen where it’s very hard to find without practice. It is a great opportunity to learn the fundamentals you need in business management.

The company programme experience was a learning curve. Although I applied knowledge I had acquired from school, the company programme further improved my skillset. This experience has also encouraged me to start my own business in the future. It proved to me that capital is not the most important factor, but it’s strategy, delegation and communication that are the key to success. The programme’s real-life application is beyond what you can learn in the classroom and provides essential life and business skills which will surely be an asset to my professional development and career expectations.

I feel that JA programmes introduce students to entrepreneurial thinking and serve to illustrate the importance of thinking differently in an ever-changing work environment. Moreover these programmes serve to tap into and bring out their individual talents and ability to work as a team rather than individually. I would like to hope that the seed being planted today in these young minds through these programmes and other initiatives will take shape and grow and help them mature into critical thinkers. Thank you JA for the opportunity and keep up the good work.
