BizWorld Partners Up With Companies For Good to Teach Entrepreneurship to Emirati Children
The partnership aims to educate, develop and lead a future generation of entrepreneurs.
BizWorld UAE pairs up with Companies for Good to feed Emirati children with education in the field of entrepreneurship and finance. Multiple fun-based workshops will be implemented and held for children aged 7 to 15 to engage in. Children enrolled in the programme will also learn valuable life skills through these workshops that would help them navigate the corporate industry and business market, leading to a fruitful development for the future of this generation of entrepreneurs.
“Partnering with Companies For Good allows us to expand the reach of our entrepreneurship and financial literacy programmes. When we teach children how to find their entrepreneurial spirit, the outome is a generation of leaders, innovators and change-makers,” says Helen Al Uzaizi, CEO of BizWorld UAE.
The workshops are a terrific way to develop a specific mentality in young children that will grow up to become budding entrepreneurs and solution providers. The partnership ultimately aims to encourage children to actively think outside the box, figure out how to work alongside an opinionated team with varying ideas, and learn empathy in the professional field.
“We aim to have more support from the corporate sector in this field as this same mindset makes great entrepreneurs also create more capable professionals across all fields,” states Marc Ruiviejo Cirera while talking about the importance of an entrepreneurial mindset in today’s youth.
A workshop sponsored by USB was previously held at GEMS Metropole School in Motor City, with over 200 children in attendance. The children were taught basic business know-how, from the process to starting a business to brainstorming and finally, the experience of pitching their ideas to investors.
BizWorld has globally been working to educate children on all-things-business for over 20 years now. Initially developed in the United States, BizWorld has successfully expanded all over the world. Companies for Good is known for creating bite-sized engaging activities that are professionally designed with a social element that aims to promote teamwork within businesses.
