. Re-igniting the spirit of entrepreneurship within the youth of our community
Creating a new generation of success stories in the professional world
Enhancing the economic well-being of the community by:
a) Increasing intellectual capital b) Growing existing business talent c) Creating more opportunities for growth
Youth Wing The above aims will be accomplished in three ways: 1. Training & Development: It is the polishing that makes a stone
turn into a diamond! WZCC organizes trainings which either develop new skill sets or enhance existing ones. Topics are chosen keeping in mind the entrepreneur, ranging from Body Language to Presentation Skills as well as Leadership Workshops.
All the training sessions are complemented with a development session. It is with the aid of an activity or team case study, that the attendees put into practice what they have learned at the session.
2. Networking: Networking leads to NetWorthing! And it’s the increase in the net worth that every entrepreneur looks forward to. The WZCC Youth Wing conducts Networking Sessions frequently wherein budding entrepreneurs get an opportunity to interact with fellow entrepreneurs as well as generate contacts. This also allows professionals to gain contacts which allow them to grow in their careers.
3. Exposure: It is the endeavor of the WZCC Youth Wing to organize opportunities, for the youth, to showcase the different facets of business. It is via these sessions that valuable food for thought is generated which in turn act as fodder to the farm of ideas. This is facilitated via the following:
