Ethiopian Entrepreneurs

The Ethiopian government is now starting up a program similar to the Arc Initiative at Sauder and it will benefit young entrepreneurs in Ethiopia. The training that is offered is aimed at creating equal opportunities in business for citizens of all ages, which will help eliminate the high rate of youth unemployment. If we could somehow partner with this program we could expand the initiative we currently have at Sauder and work side by side with the government to promote economic prosperity. This would enable us to reach a large number of dedicated entrepreneurs and we would have the opportunity to provide advice in the crucial start up stages of their businesses. We could then direct the owners in how they should approach their business from the beginning and assess the potential for their ideas. This would cut down the failure rate as we could help them before they begin to take risks on their ideas. It may be harder to pinpoint which entrepreneurs have the most profitable businesses because they have not had time to access their market but this is the price of having access to these young people when their possibilities are limitless.
