School 03
School of Business, Trade and Entrepreneurship
Every student who finishes here registers a business. Or verifies a client base. Or launches a product. That is the deal.
Africa does not have a shortage of entrepreneurs. Walk through any market in Accra, Lagos, Nairobi, or Kinshasa and you will see them. Hundreds of thousands of people who are already building something. The School of Business was built for those people. Not for the business student who wants to pass an exam. For the market trader who wants to scale. Every graduate of this school exits with something registered, launched, or verified. That is not a hope. It is a condition of graduation.
How This School Delivers Learning
Asynchronous Learning
Core business content, financial modelling exercises, case studies, and market research templates delivered asynchronously.
Synchronous Business Review Sessions
Monthly live business review sessions where learners pitch progress to peers and mentors. Final graduation in a live Pitch and Showcase session.
