case of an ethnic-based entrepreneurship apprenticeship scheme
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. Despite its uniqueness and community development tenet, the apprenticeship scheme is losing its appeal due to the changing sociopolitical factors of the business environment. The entrepreneur is caught between two opposing decision points in deciding the next step in his business expansion plans.
