The UWI-Arthur Lok Jack Global School of Business continues to strive towards their objective of being a school that contributes to innovation and youth entrepreneurship development by being the proud educational partner of the National Secondary School Entrepreneurship Competition (NSSEC), a seven week entrepreneurship simulation which took place at their North campus. There were over 600 students that worked hard to complete the simulation and learned skills that will last a lifetime.
NSSEC was a business simulation competition where youths acquired business training and development. They gained hands-on experience that helped them to put into practice classroom theory while using premier business simulation training. The competition was administered using a business simulation software called: Innovative Learning Solutions’ Marketplace Live (ILS) which is synced with the authentic learning model of the Lok Jack GSB.
Being a proud educational partner of the NSSEC for its third year, Lok Jack GSB presented the top three winners with 75%, 30% and 20% scholarships and 10% scholarships for the divisional winners for the Bachelors of International and Sustainable Business for the year in which they’ll be eligible to begin.
 
We’ll like to extend our  congratulations to the winners of the scholarships on their victory at the National Secondary School 
Entrepreneurship Competition. Bishop Anstey POS group 2 (1st place) Cowen Hamilton group 2 (2nd place) and Bishop Anstey group 1 (third place).
As the Lok Jack GSB continues to diversify and expand as a school we’ll continue to partner with institutions that promote such developments with our youths.

This year the overarching conference theme was “Leadership: Courage Required”. The topics of the two panel discussions were:

  1. The Courage to Act: Challenging the Status Quo
  2. Intuition in the Face of Adversity: The Courage to Go With Your Gut

Participating in both panel discussions, Dr. Mungal firstly examined how courage in leadership can enable the process of institutional transformation. In her second presentation, Dr. Mungal dealt with the mechanisms used to challenge gut reactions and facilitate the shift from an embedded negative psychology to a more positive and empowering approach to change.

The international multidisciplinary group of panellists who took a deep dive into uncovering the nature of courageous leadership action also consisted of:

  • Adi Walker, Phd, MSc., B.Tech (Eng), POD International Consulting, Kathmandu, Nepal
