Successful candidates will be engaged once or twice to facilitate a JAN Be Entrepreneurial program in selected secondary schools. Participants who successfully complete ALL sessions of JAN Be Entrepreneurial program and come up with a project plan to address any of the SDGs in a small community where they serve, will get the opportunity to participate in a Career Fair and Project Plan Competition in the selected cities.

This project plan will be executed by the corps member as an NYSC Personal CDS project in collaboration with Sigma Pensions.
