4.1 Opening Session
The event commenced promptly at 12:00. The facilitator welcomed all participants and conducted an ice-breaker activity to encourage engagement and active participation throughout the session.
4.2 Introduction to Entrepreneurship
The facilitator initiated a discussion by asking students to share their understanding of entrepreneurship. Students provided varied responses, with one common view being that entrepreneurship involves willingness to take risks.
The facilitator expanded on this by explaining that risk-taking is an essential part of entrepreneurship.

Understanding the target market
Maintaining quality in goods and services
Accepting calculated risks when starting and running a business

The facilitator clarified that entrepreneurship begins with initiative, problem-solving, and value creation, regardless of formal business registration status.
Participants were also advised on pitching business ideas, with emphasis placed on:
Clearly articulating the reason for starting a business
Identifying gaps or needs within the community
Explaining how the proposed business addresses those needs
