e-learning4All®
This Program leverages the AIBS eCampus to provide practical skills development courses in IT, Computer, Entrepreneurship, Business Management, Project Management, Leadership, etc to enable them gain valuable skills and qualifications to help them compete in today's global, knowledge-based economy.
Recognized by the United Nations, the program uses proprietary e-learning technology to break down geographic, economic and social barriers that prevent many people from accessing high-quality training. eCampus courses are accessible to everyone, everywhere through the Web.
Students4Biz®
The Students®4BIZ Program (S4B®) aims to provide 10,000 tertiary schools final year undergraduate students with simulations supported practice-based business skills training every year.
The objective of the S4B® is to provide graduating students or new graduates with the preparation they need to step into the outside world as self-employed or employee contributors.
Participating students in the S4B® will acquire practical business skills by using computer simulators to run dummy companies based on real cases . The students will play different business roles in their simulated companies covering positions as Chief Executive Officer, Finance Manager, Marketing Manager, Operations Manager, Production Manager, Strategy and Business Intelligence Manager, and Quality Process Manager. Each of the student simulated companies will report to a Board of Directors and ultimately to shareholders.
GEnPrep®
The Graduate Enterprise Preparation Program is similar to the S4B® but focuses on new graduates of tertiary schools. In Nigeria, this will be graduates currently in the NYSC Program or exempted from the program due to age limitations and graduates who have recently completed the NYSC Program. The GEnPrep® Program aims to provide 5000 tertiary school system graduates with simulations supported practice-based business skills training every year.
TrainTheTeacher®
The Train the Teacher Program (TripleT) aims to provide business simulations user training to 72 professors and lecturers annually. This training will ensure that a large pool of instructors exist with updated skills to use simulations and related interactive teaching tools for providing 21st century compliant business education to African tertiary schools students.
BizSimulationLab4Schools®
The BizSimulationLab4Schools Program aims to equip 5 tertiary schools every year with Business Laboratories. Each of these laboratories are functionally furnished and can accommodate at least 180 students and 5 lecturers at each class session.
Each laboratory is also equipped with e-boards, simulation software, overhead projectors, internet enabled networked systems, large screen monitors, laser printers and other supporting teaching accessories.
The Business Simulation Laboratories are where students will put the theories they have learnt in the conventional classes to test by practising how to start and run simulated businesses. This is how they leave school with practical business and entrepreneurship skills and ready for self-employment or for paid employment as well prepared employee contributors.
InnovativeBrains® Youth Competition
This Program provides youths with a platform to channel their creative energies to solving pressing and strategic development problems.
- Every year, undergraduates of tertiary schools in Nigeria and/or throughout the continent will be challenged to apply innovative thinking to the design and presentation of solutions to a pressing national or continental problem.
- The most innovative and practical problem-solving ideas and presentations from these future leaders will be provided directly to the appropriate level of government (Executives and Legislative) at the State and Federal levels to utilize for the nation's fast paced progress.
- Students with winning presentations will be rewarded and showcased to the public at a colourful and well publicized Award Ceremony to encourage active engagement and innovative problem solving by Nigerian and African Youths.
Small2BigBiz®
The Small to Big Business Program (S2BB) aims to provide 2,500 small business owners and their key employees with practice and applications based business skills training over an initial five(5) - year period.
SMEs account for more than 80% of household income and employment but their owners climb mountains daily to keep them afloat. The social and physical infrastructure to support them is poor and inadequate. Access to financial capital in the right form and at price to facilitate anxiety-free investment for sustained growth is very limited.
What little financial resources are available to SMEs are therefore primarily deployed to run the business for mostly survival. Consequently, investments to fuel business growth and prosperity such as those on training and capacity building are very limited if they occur at all.
This situation can only keep us on the slow lane in the journey to creating more jobs and increasing income levels for most of the population. Since there is almost universal agreement that SME growth is pivotal to employment growth, development oriented organizations, governments, and large enterprises who benefit from both the upstream and downstream linkages that SMEs provide must collaborate to help SMEs better access the business skills they need to thrive in a fast changing global market place.
AfricanInnovationVillage®
The African Innovation Village Program (AIV) is a virtual platform where communities of young Africans at home and in the diaspora collaborate to produce simulation models for solving complex local environmental, social and economic problems.
These vibrant, contribution driven virtual communities also address their talent and unique abilities to building effective, low cost simulations and related interactive learning games for teaching various subjects in tertiary and high schools such as mathematics, economics, environment, accounting, finance, business, investing, etc.
Why can't we make problem solving fun for our creative and highly talented young people? Why can't problem solving in our continent benefit from the inputs of our finest talents at home and abroad? The AIBS says we should and we can!
