My-Company-My-Startup

My Company – My Startup 2014 is a joint initiative between AIESEC Azerbaijan and AIESEC University of Cape Town (UCT), South Africa, which aims to enhance entrepreneurship skills among South African students and the greater region.

After a successful implementation in Colombo, Sri Lanka, the My Company – My Startup 2014 Project is coming to Cape Town. Selected by a team of eight international professionals, the project will see 60 Bachelor students participate in an intensive three-week entrepreneurship training programme.

At the end of the training sessions, students will be divided in four teams and build their own startup companies in a week. They will select their own CEO, Finance, Marketing, HR Managers by building a full organisational structure from their startup teams. Finally, the teams will pitch their businesses at the Business Case Competition.

A first of its kind in Cape Town, the project will be taking place at UCT from 4 August to 27 August. Bachelor students from any background, with relevant basic knowledge and strong entrepreneurial spirit, are invited to submit their applications for participation by 27 July 2014.

AIESEC is a student-driven non-profit that’s present in over 2000 universities across the globe. Founded in 1948, it’s present in 124 countries and aims to provide young people with leadership opportunities to develop themselves into global leaders with an urge to make a difference in society.
