The goal of this program is to provide a platform to help students for marketing and promote their businesses. The program also aims to improve students’ skills in doing business. In the first week, the program opens registration for students. The participants should be 4 or 5 in one group. Then, the promotion for each group started for two weeks and the program ended with the closing ceremony on 31 December 2021. There are four activities being conducted in the ceremony which are talk sessions by Assoc.Prof.Dr.Ramesh Zaidi Roza, Q&A Session, Lucky Draw, and winner announcement. 

Me and my group members under the subject of introduction to entrepreneurship join the competition and register in the first week. Our business is named “sugaryway”. We sell sweet cookies, cake, and crunchy. Later, we do a lot of posters and captions to promote our business. We submit it to the organizer and they will help to post it on their Instagram. Finally, my group won the best promotion award. 

It was my first time doing business online. It is a good and valuable experience for me. From the program, I can learn how to cope and prevent problems while doing business. This program enhance my thinking skills as I always need to create new and attractive captions for each poster before submission. I also try to think of more methods to promote my business. Also, it enhances my enterprising skills, and it makes me able to create an entrepreneurial mindset to prevent and cope with problems in doing business.
