We look forward to implementation of every single skill she gets from the academy.

Three Things You Might Not know About the Orient Bank Business Academy.

So i have told you the good news about Teheca successfully qualifying for the one of a kind academy but you probably don’t know much about it.  Here are 3 things that you might not know about the Orient Bank business Academy.

1. Participation

   The academy admitted between 20 to 30 Micro and Small enterprises in Uganda and it is ran in partnership with Makerere University business School Entrepreneurship center.Applications to the Orient Business Academy ran from 5^th to 23^rd September at any Orient Bank branch in Kampala and Wakiso, your probably late to apply, this the academy applications closed and it already started as of 22nd October 2016 with orientation, but keep your ear out for the next one.

   Sessions will ran every Saturday for the next 5 months with the graduation expected within March, our MD Asha  cant wait to learn everything there is and come out top of the class.By the way our MD Asha, might be the youngest participant at the academy, yet to prove this.

2. Rewards

   Up to 30 million shillings in business growth funding available for businesses with a good business plan and growth strategy. So folks, pull out those business plans and polish up on them because your about to get a big push to the future.

   Although Uganda has the highest levels of entrepreneurship in the world, it also has one of the highest business failure rates with most business start-ups dying within 5 years. noted Orient Bank MD, Julius Kakeeto during the launch of the academy back in September.

   Shortage of funding is one of the most lamented about issues by the startups and business founders that i have interacted with, I personally have faced this Godzilla while starting up Teheca

3. Future

   Promise of the academy being a continuous thing is being hinted upon, with more intake expected, as the seen from the high number of applications that were received this first time. So you business owner out there, prepare your self and you could be the participant in the next academy.
