The Entrepreneurship Committee, Department of Business Studies, in coordination with the College OJT Committee, organized a programme on Women Entrepreneur’s Meet on 20 February 2018 in the colleges’ lecture theatre.
The session started with a presentation by Mr Moosa Al Alwai, student entrepreneur of Travel 365 Business. His presentation displayed the travel facilities offered to different destinations across different countries for all.
This session was followed by a talk by Ms Nadah Awad Alabri, owner of Elite Shop, Ibri narrating her challenges and opportunities in business for women in Oman. This talk was arranged in the form of an interview conducted by students.
Adding a sparkle on this event, Mr. Younus Al –Zaabi, Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs, interacted with the students and all entrepreneurs present and expressed his views on the various business opportunities, the need for more business enterprises in Oman and how to overcome the challenges in setting up business.
It was a wonderful interaction and students benefited a lot. The students numbered 50 and participated and interacted to get ideas to start a business life. In addition to that, the members from IT, Admin and Finance departments also took part in the program.
As a part of student entrepreneurs’ display, in the college garden, two student entrepreneurs presented their products for display and sale from 10am. to 3pm. On sale were items like barbecue, juices, and different pastries from Taxxyan shop. Many students relished this opportunity and got the feel of the business culture. They benefited from this event and gained knowledge in the scope of small business in Oman and its benefits. They expressed their wish for some more like this program in future.
At the end of the program, Mr. Younus Al -Zaabi, Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs distributed certificates to the students who participated in Injaz Oman competition and felicitated the student entrepreneurs too. It was successfully conducted and on behalf of the Entrepreneurship Committee, I am thankful to the College Management, Head of Business Studies Department and College OJT Coordinator Mr Zaid Al-Badi and faculty members of Business Studies Department for their cooperation.
