Social Entrepreneurship Program for B40 community as an introduction to upskill to be a social entrepreneur, 2 modules were presented, namely Introduction to Social Entrepreneurs as well as business models that can be used for social entrepreneurs. Not only that, participants were also exposed to the concept of Business Canvas Model where they had to brainstorm ways to impact as a Social Enterprise, identifying their mission, product/service offered and choosing the right business model.
Total of 19 small entrepreneurs from the B40 community attended to gain knowledge. This program was intended for those who wish to transition from regular entrepreneurs to social entrepreneurs.
Align with objective of Taylor’s Community that uplift the community to be able generate income and at the same time help the marginalised communities and the environment.
We are glad that the participants are taking the leap of faith to explore the idea of becoming social entrepreneurs to create a positive impact on the community and the environment!
Let’s take a look at the impact measurement for this program.
Science and English Fun Day program focused to cherish the children that not only educate but entertains them as well. In Taylor’s Community, we believe the regular curriculum in Malaysia tends to lean heavily on textbook learning and does not provide emphasis on making learning fun for students.
The children learned the basics of scientific principles in our science module based on quick, simple and fun experiments that can be done at home.
The children also learned about poetry via watching videos that utilized creative narratives and writing styles in our English Module.
Let’s take a look at testimony from the participants of our program.
HRDF Training session on Effective Volunteering Training was one of new milestone for Taylor’s Community. The training that have conducted for our Taylor’s internal department that give us a chance to explore our role as HRDF certified trainers.
This 2 days program gave us a chance to dive deeper into effective volunteering for an employee and creating meaningful impacts. Our session more meaningful to the learning where we have 18 students from MSRI (Malaysian Social Research Institute) participated in an experiential workshop run by Taylor’s Community trainees.
We are huge thankful for having great support both from Taylor’s internal team as well as beneficiaries in achieving a new milestone.
On Merdeka Day, 500 people gathered at Taylor’s Lakeside Campus to make a difference! Our 3rd Taylor’s-CIMB Islamic Entrepreneurship Program (Program Keusahawanan) have come to a peak where last Saturday, it was the presentation day for our beneficiaries. It was the chance for them to receive business grants in the form of equipments, for their business development, in hopes to empower them to self-sustain independently.
After 6-8 weeks of grinding, business classes including goal setting, financial planning, marketing, branding, and mock presentations after mock presentations, our beneficiaries entered an arena of passionate judges to Business Pitch, but in our participant’s eyes, a ‘lions den’ of experienced judges! It is with great courage that they’ve brought themselves to this point!
Coming from an array of background, be it from the B40 communities or those who are Asnafs (people who are entitled to receive from from the Muslim community), Refugees, Differently-Abled or single parents, all 200 of them presented their business pitch to various judges.
Apart from that, our Mini Entrepreneurship Program too came to a highlight were they created products and organised a Mini Bazaar. 10 of the children too were trained to business pitch to the judges their parents faced. The judges were all impressed by our children who were able to articulate clearly their goals and business ideas. We see that this program have been a by-the-way blessing for this entire Program. Our beneficiaries’ children too were able to pick up transferable skills for their personal development.
Altogether, we had 17 presentations rooms and more than 100 volunteering judges who were industry experts, entrepreneurs, academics and even NGO leaders. Moreover, we also had 100 student volunteers came to help out in this event. We are truly thankful to all who contributed to the success of the event!
Yet, this is not the end, following the release of the results, more business classes and monitoring would be held to ensure that our beneficiaries truly benefit and are empowered to be better entrepreneurs from this program who could increase their earning power. So, we’re still looking for trainers and volunteers! For enquiries, contact us at taylors.community@taylors.edu.my!
200 PPR community members (Low income households), refugees, orang Asli and people with disabilities (PWD) will be presenting their business pitch and standing a chance to win business grants up to RM500,000. We would need coordinators, an impact manager and photographers to help smoothen this process and, encourage and motivate the participants.
