Youth enterprises & evaluating feasibility and viability

Narrated lesson · press play

Young Namibians under 35 are starting real businesses every day — but which ideas are actually worth chasing? In this AS lesson Miss Maria shows you what a youth enterprise is, the opportunities open to you in Namibia, and the powerful evaluation tool of feasibility (can you do it?) versus viability (should you do it?). You'll then judge a real Namibian youth venture against every factor and reach a justified recommendation.
