Entrepreneurship Education is a Human Right | Yogavelli Nambiar | TEDxLytteltonWomen

A case for democratizing entrepreneurship education to ensure young people's preparedness for the future. Yogavelli joined the Allan Gray Orbis Foundation in October 2017 as its Chief Executive Officer. Previously she was the Founding Director of the Entrepreneurship Development Academy at the Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS), the business school of the University of Pretoria, where she led the school’s entrepreneurship efforts. She started the Academy in 2014 to offer scholarship-based education and support to entrepreneurs of start-up, micro and small enterprises who were previously marginalised or underserved, leading to it being commended by Cabinet and achieving other sectoral awards. During this time, she lectured on the Social Entrepreneurship Programme, teaching different business models that can be used to create social change.

Prior to that she was Country Director of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women initiative and a Founder-Director of the Enterprise Development Council of South Africa. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
