The YES Programme is a youth entrepreneurship skills training programme designed by entrepreneurs to teach students business and design skills through three key modules: mindset and management, marketing and money sense, and innovation and design thinking. It has industry partnerships with companies like Siemens and Canon. The programme aims to prepare students for the national youth entrepreneurship competition and potentially start their own businesses through three stages: the preparatory programme, the competition, and an advanced programme with mentorship and funding opportunities. The goals are to support students' learning and passion, give them real-world understanding, and incubate future entrepreneurs.
