RegCharles Finance and Capital Ltd partners with the Lagos State Education District 3 on Entrepreneurship and Personal Finance Management Education in Lagos Public Schools

7. Aug 2013

Entrepreneurship and personal finance education has become vital in the Nigerian school curriculum today.

This is necessary in order to address the problem of unemployment, youth restiveness, poor finance management abilities, and poverty plaguing Nigeria in recent times.

RegCharles Finance and Capital Limited believes that the acquisition of skills, knowledge, and attitude, as well as the cultivation of human talent and their creative/imaginative potentials is indeed the fundamental aim of education and here entrepreneurship and personal finance education addresses such issues.

In our quest to promote entrepreneurship and personal finance education among teenagers and youths in Nigeria, RegCharles is proud to introduce her GEN-Y Entrepreneurship Programme in Public Secondary Schools in Lagos State, Nigeria.

The aim of this programme include:

  • To provide entrepreneurship trainings to students in public secondary schools.
  • To identify students with business ideas and provide them with the necessary support and funding to develop their ideas into sustainable businesses.
  • To encourage secondary school students to think more about becoming entrepreneurs rather than seek white-collar jobs.
  • To help students develop the outstanding qualities that make an effective leader.
  • To teach students the basic principles of financial management, thereby giving them the necessary skills and knowledge to manage their personal and business finances adequately.
  • Fostering teamwork among students, cascading into their future career and entrepreneurship endeavours.

In launch of this programme, RegCharles, supported by the Lagos State Education District 3 announces her presence at the up-coming summer school coaching to introduce her structured entrepreneurship and personal finance management programme to Nigerian students. This is to help them begin to discover and cultivate their entrepreneurial capabilities.

This summer school coaching, taking place at four zonal centers of Eti-Osa, Lagos Island, Epe, and Ibeju Lekki would also witness the presence of many organizations whom we anticipate meeting and working with to better the lives of our youths, and encourage entrepreneurship on a large scale.
