-

Junior Chamber International (JCI) Bauchi City recorded another milestone through the Global BizEdge Bootcamp 2025, a four-week virtual capacity-building project organized in collaboration with other chapters to empower young Africans with practical business writing and entrepreneurial skills.

The initiative, held from June 1–28, 2025, was jointly implemented by JCI Garden City (Nigeria) and JCI Metro (Zimbabwe), with participation from seven JCI Local Organizations across Africa, including JCI Bauchi City, JCI Victoria Falls, JCI Diwan, JCI Premier, JCI Ota, and JCI Lagos City.

The program attracted 369 participants, including over 90 non-JCI members, and focused on business planning, proposal writing, and Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) drafting. Training was delivered through weekly expert-led Zoom sessions, supported by assignments, pitch competitions, and mentorship.

The project directly advanced the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and SDG 1 (No Poverty), while aligning with JCI’s RISE initiative to build workforce resilience and empower youth entrepreneurs.

JCI Bauchi City mobilized over 40 members for coordination, mentoring, and promotion, while also attracting new interest in the organization. Following the program, the chapter recorded an increase in membership interest, with new members joining.

Looking ahead, the project is expected to foster sustained mentorship, stronger regional partnerships, and potential hybrid editions with advanced modules in digital marketing and financial literacy.
