BizWorld UAE, a new social-enterprise which provides entrepreneurship education programmes for elementary and middle school children, recently launched its operations in the Middle East.
The company has implemented pilot programmes in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates.
BizWorld UAE, part of Future Entrepreneurs DMCC and headquartered in Dubai, is spearheaded by Jordanian businesswoman Helen Al-Uzaizi. BizWorld programmes aim to nurture children's entrepreneurial spirit and develop their leadership skills through comprehensive entrepreneurship exercises specially designed for students between the ages of seven to 15.
The programmes specifically focus on developing students' creative thinking and problem solving skills in addition to building their resilience and self-confidence. The programmes also focus on instilling a sense of optimism, empathy, and the importance of giving back to the community.
"Launching BizWorld in the region represents a pioneering step for entrepreneurship education in the Middle East; we are strategically aligned with the region's efforts to further develop the education system and promote entrepreneurship to its young and ambitious youth,” Al-Uzaizi said.
"Improving education and promoting entrepreneurship are the highest priorities for governments across the entire Middle East as these are the most viable solutions to the current social and unemployment challenges facing the region,” she added.
After implementing the pilot programme in Jordan and the UAE, BizWorld is planning to expand its operations to cover more markets across the Middle East in the near future. "We are instilling the entrepreneurial spirit in our children to nurture a generation of capable leaders and empowered individuals who will shape the future of the Middle East, regardless of the career path they choose," Al-Uzaizi concluded.
BizWorld is being supported by major regional organizations through partnerships with Aramex as a shipping sponsor and Entrepreneur Middle East Magazine as an official media partner. – TradeArabia News Service
