BINARY PREPARING STUDENTS FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
His homeland, Libya, may be gripped by turmoil but here in Malaysia, Bilal Sarwar is preparing himself for the future with an eye towards possible involvement in business.
Bilal, a final year computer science student at Binary University College in Puchong, is one of many students who took part in a business seminar organised by the institution recently.
"Before the seminar started, I was asked to come up with a few ideas on business so that I can share it with the other students. I really hope to be able to implement some of the ideas for real.
"I'm positive that someday, when everything is finally in place, I may be able to help my country, especially in the business sector," he told Bernama.
Binary, which has been promoting education and entrepreneurship among students from countries in the African continent, has also been actively participating in the Langkawi International Dialogue (LID) over the past decade.
LID 2011 will be held in Putrajaya from June 19 to 21.
Binary Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Prof Joseph Adaikalam reckoned that Africa had a lot of potential as the continent was rich in resources.
"But, most of the countries lack entrepreneurs who can utilise such
resources. The creation of entrepreneurs would enable the countries concerned to tap into the unexploited potential," he said.
Another seminar participant, Selma Shivute, from Namibia, said Binary had opened up many paths for its students to become good entrepreneurs.
"Besides exchanging ideas with other students, the business programme helps us to build our confidence and develop entrepreneurial skills," she said.
Fellow Namibian, Dennis Shindume, said the seminar had opened up the eyes of students to business potentials in the real world.
He said Binary offered good programmes and courses to help students excel in the world of business.
Binary offers scholarships to international students to study marketing, information communication technology and entrepreneurship.
Twenty eight per cent of its 2,800 students are foreigners.
