Junior Achievers Trust International (JATI), a non-governmental organisation would hold its first ever Masters Company Forum to train students to acquire entrepreneurial development skills for their future development.

The initiative is aimed at teaching students on how to develop high-quality business plans to enable them to set up their own businesses in future and help combat the unemployment menace in the country.

It would serve as a platform to train link teachers to act as a liaison between schools and management of JATI.

In addition, there would be a Students’ Enterprise Fair where students will exhibit products manufactured in their various schools.

This was contained in a press statement issued to the Ghana News Agency by JATI on Thursday, in Accra.

The five day residential forum scheduled from August 14 to August 18 is a partnership with Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship, a US based NGO, and will take place at Aburi Girls Seniors High School at Aburi Akuapem in the Eastern Region.

The first three schools to excel would be awarded prizes to serve as start- up capital for businesses that they would want to set up.

JATI called on the public, organisations and philanthropist to support and collaborate with its entrepreneurial skills training programmes to prepare the youth since they are the future leaders for national development.**
