The Asia Pacific Speakers Summit 2007 held on 17 and 18 May brought together some of the best speakers and trainers from more than ten nations including UK, US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, China, Thailand. Participants at the event not only witness dynamic speaks and trainers in action, but they also gained fresh insight into the business of training, learning and retention.
Some of our student members at YEA had a chance to meet and interact with some of the best presenters and trainers in professional public speaking.
These students who have undergone training at YEA got a chance to sharpen their knowledge and skills in entrepreneurship under an exclusive continuity programme to cultivate their entrepreneurial skills on the various platforms offered at YEA. The students helped out at the reception and assisted the speakers in their presentations. Many of them realized the value of networking when they put to practice what they learnt about building lasting contacts in business.
The first session was on the Entrepreneur Mindset as an induction programme for the Secondary 1s who just joined the club, we shared about real-life examples of entrepreneurs and how they can adopt the same attitudes as well as strategies in their everyday school life.
The second session was where we taught them some techniques from our InnoWorks™ programme to help them to conceptualize and improve on ideas for a bazaar during Chinese New Year.
The third session was a board game programme, where students learned about entrepreneurship and how to manage money. I asked a few facilitators from the National Junior College I&E Club to come and help out as well as to share more about some of the things they do at the I&E Club in NJC..jpg)
