Sulaiman studied with ABE to develop his skill set and plans to start his own business in the future. He also shares his top tips for a successful study. Read his full story below:
''My name is Sulaimana Duwa, and I am 20 years old, I am the third born in a family of five children. My hobbies include football and reading motivational books. I did my primary education from 2005 to 2014. From 2015 I did my secondary education and completed it in 2020. In 2021, I enrolled with ABE to study Business Management at the International College of Business and Management (ICBM) in Malawi.
I chose to study ABE because it combines and balances many different concepts that can equip me with a variety of skills such as management, project management, and entrepreneurial skills.
Employers recognise students who study ABE as someone who can adapt to different situations in the workplace due different skills that ABE provides them.
Upon completing ABE I plan to open and operate my own business and create employment since it is difficult to secure a job here in Malawi.
ABE has assisted me in gaining management skills, project management skills, and entrepreneurship skills, as well as accounting skills.
My tips for a successful study include praying to God to keep me active and away from distractions, focusing on learning outcomes, finding how best I can go the extra mile, and using examiner's reports to be in line with the overall needs and expectations. I would also study at least 2 hours a day.
My long-term plan is to become the best version of myself through creating something unique that has never been created or introduced. Upon completing my advanced diploma, I want to continue my education as it is not enough for me and pursue it to the highest level possible. I do believe that if someone has done it before then I have all capacity to do it better.''
