As part of a career drive, Nanyang Girls' School invited us to bring together a group of entrepreneurs to give a career talk to their students.
So we approached some young entrepreneurs who're part of the Talentpreneur Hub community, Nicky Teo of Funeral Solutions as well as Goh Cheng Ze and Serene Yeo from Dotbox to share their experiences with the students.
We know that these young entrepreneurs will be able to provide a refreshing perspective to being an entrepreneur to the youth.
And sure enough, Serene and Cheng Ze flashed pictures of themselves in when they were still in secondary school, not too long ago, and they drew gasps of surprise from the crowd when they revealed that they were only 2 years older than the secondary four Nanyang girls.
Jaws also dropped when Nicky shared about his years of experiences in the funeral industry despite being only 18. Nicky has enjoyed numerous press coverage on his choice of industry and being successful despite his youth.
Joanna, Education Director of Youth Enterprise Academy, told the girls of the passions that Nicky, Serene and Cheng Ze had for their work, and to be able to make a difference in their industries. It is this common denominator that brought them to us as Talentpreneurs.
Their inherent passions is the reason why these entrepreneurs are making waves and headlines, and that was a message that resonated with the audience.
