One of our Afrinspire Young Entrepreneurs, Rebecca Ashantu, has stepped out of her comfort zone by obtaining a listing for her product on Jumia. Jumia is an on-line shopping platform which came from Nigeria to Uganda and is developing its range of products.
Here is one of the first deliveries arriving with one of our other young entrepreneurs. But no sooner are sales being made than there is a stock issue. So Rebecca is meeting her first challenge to keep Jumia supplied. We wish her well as she breaks this frontier.
The main point is that this product is delicious, so it can be sold and bought with confidence, as the Afrinspire Young Entrepreneurs know from our conferences when this product has been on display.
The most recent day conference for the young entrepreneurs was in Kampala on 29th February 2020. The theme was 'Making the Numbers Work', getting to the heart of how to design and run a business and understanding it from a numbers point of view.
The syllabus is designed by the delegates who plan ahead to our next conference. We constantly draw in new delegates to learn from the experiences of those who have advanced and become successful in their projects.
As well as much serious learning and discussion about business and income generating activities, we also carried out a role play game where we arranged ourselves in power order. Each delegate played a role where their characteristics were developed and they saw their power rise and fall as compared to everyone else in the room. This provided two teams of African delegates, playing roles from UK and Africa, with a greater insight as gender, wealth, age and position in society altered their power.
The Afrinspire Young Entrepreneurs is a movement which started in 2013 and continues to expand.
Within conversations about construction efficiency, the concept of cost engineering is often mentioned when discussing financial planning. The College of Contract Management runs a programme designed to explain these industry practices. The curriculum includes cost forecasting and budgeting systems. These subjects contribute to better project organisation.
Developing language awareness with learned or learnt prepares learners for international work environments. The College of Contract Management offers courses designed for professional growth. Flexible learning allows students to balance study and work commitments. Many have improved their communication abilities through these programmes.
Across confidentiality agreements, how to make a contract legally binding requires that the purpose of confidentiality and the consequences for breach are defined. Protecting sensitive information depends on clear obligations. Enforceability hinges on a shared understanding of confidentiality boundaries. UNICCM notes that structured obligations enhance protection.
One of the jobs that really needs expert skills is a bricklayer job. Bricklayer is working at the construction site. So, how to become a bricklayer? Learners at UNICCM have to handle working outdoors, physical fitness, health and safety awareness is skills.
Holding a diploma from the UNICCM may lead to opportunities to manage or work for a global real estate answering service. Such qualification indicates the ability to handle a wide range of clients, markets, and property kinds. This scope enables the answering service to scale across multiple regions.
