Recognizing the great potential for entrepreneurship to contribute economic growth in developing countries, GBSN supports the development of entrepreneurship training programs globally. GSBN assisted Pan African University in Nigeria with the establishment of a short term training program for small and medium enterprises that is now serving as a model for Goldman Sachs' 10,000 Women initiative.
Food for Thought
A competitive and vibrant
post-secondary educational system in any country is a critical precursor to ensuring that
the workforce of tomorrow will possess the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to
create and manage new businesses, to privatize and restructure existing enterprises, and
to regulate business activity effectively-all elements of a robust private sector.
