: Students need to be exposed to entrepreneurship knowledge to help unearth talent and hone their interests so that they will venture into that field, said Penang Malaysia Co-operative Societies Commission director Norlelah Samsudin.
She said a total of RM450,000 in the form of grants had been distributed to 23 cooperatives so far, with 14 of them being school cooperatives, and each receiving RM10,000 as an incentive to generate income. “We want them to take what they have learned and take it to a higher level,” she said when met at the Young Entrepreneurs Strive For Success 2023 programme at the Bertam Resort here.
Meanwhile, Fahmi said he was proud of the achievement of Penang’s school cooperatives, which recorded the highest number of participation in the YESS programme this year, with 26 teams competing compared to other schools nationwide.
