These range from routine presentations at schools and other educational institutions, to an annual essay competition.
In 2000, THE VCIP hosted its first National Essay Competition. This competition, an integral part of the VCIP’s Schools Awareness initiative, aimed to achieve the VCIP’s objective of educating the nation’s youth about the concept of venture capital financing, and increasing the overall awareness about the venture capital industry. In 2001, this competition was expanded to include participants from the English speaking Caribbean. In keeping with a growing demand for a more practical application of business skills, the upcoming competition will take the form of a business plan competition. |
