Special BizCamp To Be Held Next Month
The Youth Entrepreneurship Initiative [YEI], in coordination with the Bermuda Signature Schools Transformation Team, is offering a special BizCamp at Bermuda College from August 1 to August 10.
Joe Mahoney, executive director of the YEI, said, “The goal of this special BizCamp is to prepare students scheduled to enter the senior signature school to earn the YEI Entrepreneurship Certificate which will prepare them for the entrepreneurship infusion being offered within each of the new signature learning pathways.”

Nekesha Holdipp, Department of Education Acting Education Officer, and senior Bermuda Signature Schools Transformation Team member, said, “It would be very beneficial for any M3 students who are entering into the Financial & Insurance Services Signature to attend BizCamp and receive the YEI Entrepreneurship Certificate.”
The spokesperson said, “Once again with support of the BEDC, with funding provided by the Centennial Foundation, and Chubb Charitable Foundation BizCamp is offered free of charge to any Bermudian teenagers interested in learning how to master the growth mindset of an entrepreneur which is based upon the belief that concepts like intelligence, leadership, personality, and ability are all things that can be developed and cultivated.
“Electronic applications are available at www.yei.bm or by emailing bizcamp@yei.bm. Participants will be admitted on a rolling basis until both sessions are full.”
