| Summary: | The case highlights the experience of a neophyte who became a successful entrepreneur through the system of an ethnic-based apprenticeship scheme. The Igbo ethnic "Igba-boi" apprenticeship scheme has been lauded for promoting entrepreneurial skills acquisition, creating organic business funding, assisting entrepreneurs to gain competitive advantage in the marketplace, and generally helping young people develop self-sustainability.
