Entrepreneurship Education for young People
Know About Business (KAB) is an entrepreneurship education programme developed by the International Labour Organization (ILO) to teach entrepreneurship in technical and vocational education and training institutions as well as in secondary and higher education institutions. The programme seeks to prepare in-school youth – young men and women - for the transition from school to the world of work by letting them discover and develop entrepreneurial competencies and basic business management skills through a range of games and exercises.
The typical age group is youth from 15-24 years, but the games and exercises can be used to teach entrepreneurship to any age or target group. The complete KAB package consists of a total of 80 hours of games and exercises and is made up of eight modules, each representing a key area of entrepreneurship.
This tailor-made course is available upon request and may be customized for local, national, and international organizations. Contact us to learn more.
