The enterprenuership course for trainees of the third batch of National Service Programme (PKNB) participants ran smoothly in line with the aspiration of creating excellent Bruneian youth in accordance with Bruneian styles.

PPP-Ilmu Alim, a local consulting company involved in training and management was given the responsibility of running the programme.

During the introductory session on December 25, 2012, trainees were briefed on entrepreneurship and how it differs from business.

A businessman only deals with buying and selling to gain profits, while the entrepreneur focuses more on services to the community and contributes toward nation-building.

In the dynamic context of global entrepreneurship, trainees were introduced to entrepreneuralism based on the al-Quran and Sunnah. This is crucial in creating a Zikir Nation.

Modules for the entrepreneurship programme cover three aspects and basics of good practice for entrepreneuralism from an Islamic perspective.

Holistically, the entrepreneurship course modules contains the aspiration to guide youths to be 'Glokal', which refers to a Bruneian entreprenuer with an Islamic and national background as well as a global perspective.

PPP-Ilmu Alim expressed its gratitude at being given the opportunity to contribute toward making the PKBN a success.

It believes that components provided in the implementation strategy of PKBN projects should be equipped with relevant materials in accordance to the national needs that are in line with the aspirations of the establishment.

PPP-Ilmu Alim is also proud to run this programme with experienced local human resources, who are knowledgable and possess a good understanding of the MIB philosophy.
