Some university students from Kenya are going to take part in a big competition called the Global Management Challenge. They will compete against 56,000 other students from 35 different countries. The competition will test their decision-making skills when running a pretend company.
Not only students can join the competition. Young people who don't have jobs and people who already work for companies can also take part. The competition will check how good they are at making choices about important things like strategy, marketing, production, hiring people, and dealing with money.
Doing well in this competition can help young people get jobs at really good companies later on. Asim Shah, who started the Global Management Challenge in Kenya, told students and young workers that they should definitely take part. He said it's a great chance for them to test their skills, meet new people, and improve their careers.
The Global Management Challenge in Kenya is working with a company called MRX Media. They want to use social media, like Instagram and TikTok, to tell more students and young people about the competition. Rachael Muthoni from MRX Media said that many young people in Kenya are looking for a chance to show how talented they are. She thinks this competition will let them do that on a big stage where the whole world can see.
The competition works like this: First, all the people who join are put into teams. Each team gets a pretend company to run. They have to come up with clever plans to help their company grow and do well. The teams have to tell the Global Management Challenge what decisions they would make. Then, the competition uses a special computer program to figure out how well each team did with their money and other parts of running the company.
The teams that do the best in each country get to compete against each other. The very best team from Kenya will go to Macau, China, in June to compete against the best teams from other countries. The Global Management Challenge is a really big and important competition. Many students and people who work for big companies have taken part in it before.
In the competition, people get to pretend to be the boss of a company. They can make big decisions without having to worry about messing up a real company. They also get to look at a lot of numbers and facts about money to help them make good choices. It's a fun and exciting way for people to learn how to run a business.
