Participants attended seminar sessions on such subjects as “The Principles of Strategic Business Planning,” “Mak ing Money Legally Catches Youths’ Eyes,” “Teen Mothers in the Work Place: Tomorrow’s Entrepreneurs,” and “Venture Feasibility and Market Analysis.” They learned how to prepare a business plan, sell their ideas, overcome obstacles, secure financial backing and manage a small business.
