Encouraging students to consider becoming entrepreneurs
The Vak Bottyan Vocational School (MIVAK) is one of the largest schools in Gyongyos, with 700 pupils between the ages of 15 and 20. EDW’s YBN.2 project added valuable practical enterprise training to MIVAK’s existing theoretical and vocational curriculum.
The school has been teaching both theoretical and practical economics since 1994 and now offers vocational courses in electronics, informatics, mechanics and economics. Through participation in the YBN.2 programme, the school undertook many activities to raise students’ awareness of work and self-employment options. Business Development and Awareness Training Days were held and feedback from the students was very positive.
