The Youth Entrepreneurship Programme is one of the major programmes run by CadifKenya. The YEP is anew that is targeted at youths between the ages of sixteen and thirty (16-35). We hope to expand this training to other universities and tertiary institutions within Kenya and eventually other countries in Africa in the forth coming months and years. The YEP programme lasts for a period of 6 weeks in which participants are taught twenty courses core to entrepreneurial success. We apply a very practical approach. The participants have to do a lot of course work in order to graduate. Participants have to form groups, learn to work in teams and develop investor-ready business plans. Most of the training is done in the form of assignments. We ensure that our participants fully understand what they are taught and hence the reason for paying critical attention on continuous assessment. Participants are also encouraged to network and get to know one another. This has proven very effective in the past as it has lead to partnerships amongst participants. One pair of trainees formed a campus laundry business together. One partner was a very aggressive salesman while the other was skilled as an administrator. This is just an example of why we place so much emphasis on participants networking.
