GEN Z BDC ENTREPRENEURSHIP PROGRAM

By Kingdom Leadership Institute (KLI) & Business Development Centre (BDC)

Target: Graduates & Students Duration: 20 Weeks (Saturdays Only) Mode: Hybrid (Online & In-Person)

1. Background and Rationale

Tanzania is experiencing a growing gap between formal education outcomes and the practical skills required for employability, entrepreneurship, leadership, and digital readiness among Generation Z. Although many young people complete secondary and tertiary education, a significant number still struggle to secure meaningful employment, establish sustainable businesses, or effectively adapt to the demands of a rapidly evolving economy.

In response to this gap, the Kingdom Leadership Institute (KLI) has developed a practical and transformative Business and Entrepreneurship Development Program tailored for Form Four and Form Six graduates, university students, and recent graduates.
