Free mini-MBA course for Youth Corp Members
Junior Achievement of Nigeria (JA Nigeria), a non- profit educational organization in partnership with Lagos Business School and Accenture has concluded plans to host this year's Venture in Management Program (ViMP). A yearly program, ViMP is designed as a one-week intensive mini-MBA session to introduce selected members of the National Youth Service Corps to the different facets of managing a business and making crucial business decisions

According to JA Nigeria's Executive Director, Mrs. Kunbi Wuraola, the goal of ViMP is to prepare Youth Corp members for the world of business as managers and entrepreneurs. This opportunity is designed to expose future business leaders to the responsibilities, opportunities, and demands of a career in management.

The week-long program will include rigorous and stimulating classroom meetings (led by LBS faculty), case studies, panel discussions, study groups, guest speakers and recreation, culminating in a strategy workshop, during which the participants will present solutions to different business problems.

The learning environment will mirror that of the top business schools around the world with case studies focusing on Business Ethics, Accounting & Finance, Marketing, Strategy, Social Enterprise, General Management, Leadership and Entrepreneurship.

The program will hold at Lagos Business School (PAN African University), Lekki Campus, Lekki Epe Express Way between the th of December and 8th of December 2006. Application for the program is on-going.

Given the tremendous success of the last four editions of ViMP, JA Nigeria remains convinced about the potential life-changing impact that ViMP can have on participants. Thanks to the generous support of sponsors like the Lagos Business School, the entire program will be free to participants again this year!
