The just ended SRC Hult Prize Workshop and Training event which took place on Saturday October 19th, 2019 was amazing and replete with a lot of Entrepreneurial training avenues for student entrepreneurs. The SRC Hult Prize training and workshop started at 9:00am at the Dean of Students conference room.
The training session which sought to train participants of the SRC Hult Prize 2020 On Campus challenge had participants showing up in their numbers with their team members.
The training session kicked of with the *Time with a Young Achiever session* where Miss Emily Otoo-Quayson, one of the winners of the 2019 Presidential Pitch, took participants on the exciting adventure of how she became an entrepreneur. Afterwards, there was a training session by Mr. Morris, a business educator from Kumasi Hive, on how to get into business and the various strategies involved in coming up with an idea and nurturing it into the final stages.
Mr Ferdinand, also a business educator from Kumasi Hive, made an appearance at the training session to give applicants inspiration with stories about various startups and how single ideas turned into big time businesses. He took applicants through training concerning the kind of attitude that individuals need to posses to become entrepreneurs.
There was a fifteen minutes break. Following the break was a question and answer session about history concerning the Hult Prize and winners were giving rush mugs as prizes.
After the questioning session a team from Enactus KNUST took the individuals through a training on how to pitch.The training covered a basis on pitching to give participants a fair idea of how to prepare and was detailed down to even how to dress for the event. A four member team from Enactus KNUST delivered a mock presention on pitching to end the session.
Participants were then given the opportunity to ask questions pertaining to the theme and whatever clarity they needed to facilitate their preparation towards the big day.
The program climaxed with a call on a few people to summarize what had taken place since the beginning of the session.
The closing remarks were given and the workshop was ended with a prayer. After, there was a photoshoot session with the various organisers and guests invited for the training session.
