“The first pilot program was run three years ago and we saw some outstanding participants come out from that program and as a result of that program, we now run the second series where we see another group of very enthusiastic and entrepreneurial young people come up and develop their business ideas further.”

About 15 business operators are currently part of the Fiji Enterprise Engine training program facilitated by the Fiji Commerce and Employers Federation.
