Through the talks from these successful ICAN-Entrepreneurs,  the pupils gained insights and valuable information about Entrepreneurship in a more relatable  and personal manner. The speakers encouraged our young ICAns  to dream and strive to pursue their dreams by first becoming the best versions of themselves.  They also highlighted in their presentations the significance of having good traits, Christian values,  and giving back to the community.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Having awareness about entrepreneurship is an investment that will help our dear young ICAns to improve their knowledge and attitude towards life, inspire them  to be future entrepreneurs, and contribute to the betterment of our society as women of faith, excellence, and service.  The pupils expressed their appreciation and gratitude for the enriching encounter through their active participation and engagement in the discussions all throughout the session.
