Students Between 16-18 Years to be Trained in Entrepreneurship to Become ‘Zuckerbergs’

Uable has launched the campus ambassador programme which aims to skill students, between 16 to 18 years of age, to become entrepreneurs and build communities that can help them pursue their passion. As part of the programme, teen ambassadors will be chosen to become ‘Zuckerbergs’ and start their own mini social media network. It aims to onboard over 1000 students in India by December this year.

The edtech will also connect these ambassadors with mentors from top startups and help them get priority access to internships or fellowships with these brands in the future, claims the official press release. The programme will enable these students to build a community from scratch, and learn the ropes of product building, marketing, and user engagement among others.
