The Student Enterprise Program: Leadership in Practice

Related Articles

The Entrepreneurial Leadership program at ALA is designed to build the interpersonal and leadership skills that are essential for future agents of positive change. Through this flagship program, students develop the mindset, approach, and skills necessary to be entrepreneurial leaders on the African continent and beyond.

Our education philosophy ensures students have authentic opportunities to practice what they are learning outside of the classroom. One of our flagship programs that enables students to develop and practice entrepreneurial skills is the Student Enterprise Program – a year-long simulation where students form/join profit or non-profit enterprises that run within a simulated, cashless economy on ALA’s campus.

Currently, there are 20 student enterprises active on the ALA campus. Learn more about two of these Student Enterprises below.
