From Apprenticeship to Enterprise | Ike Chioke | TEDxOguiRoad

The informal apprenticeship model is an age long model amongst the Ibo business owners in Nigeria. The apprentice provides services to his boss for a period of time after which he is given seed capital to start his own business.
Ike describes the apprenticeship model and shares on the characteristics that have led to the model being an informal incubator for starting successful small scale businesses. He also touches on the challenges of this model and why Ibo business owners need to look beyond this model and the need to build transgenerational businesses.
