Venture in Management Program (ViMP) 2015
ViMP is a
one-week intensive session to introduce select members of the National Youth
Service Corps (NYSC) to the different facets of managing a business, making
crucial business decisions and developing skills for Management. The goal of
ViMP is to prepare NYSC members for the world of business as managers and
entrepreneurs. This opportunity is designed to expose future business leaders
to the responsibilities, opportunities, and demands of a career in management.

program led by facilitators from The Lagos Business School (LBS), included
rigorous and stimulating classroom meetings, case studies, panel discussions,
networking, study groups, guest speakers and recreation, culminating in a
