“That’s Pitchin’!” presented by Barking & Dagenham College has created an opportunistic stir amongst the youth of the East London Borough as the competition now heads into the final stages where the champion will soon be crowned.
Over the past four week, dozens of young future entrepreneurs and idea-specialist have been going through the various rounds of the “That’s Pitching’!” competition including having attended several skills-training digital workshops coupled with challenges for the entrants to complete by certain deadlines. The workshops, which are hosted by Empowered Youth – the global skills-development academy, have been extremely well received and include topics such as Entrepreneurship 101, Mind-set management, Critical thinking, Success habits, Personal branding, The Art of Pitching and Being Boss plus more.
Even though it’s the mid-terms this week, the “That’s Pitchin’!” finalists will be hard-at-work and attending exclusive training-sessions with the highly experienced and rather diverse set of judges in preparation for the fourth and final challenge… Pitching their business idea LIVE!
The judges include:
Luke Mullens – Co-founder of Rich Kids Global
Cayla Platt – Serial Entrepreneur and Business Investor
Michael Deon – Co-founder and Creative Director at Augmentors
Hassan Abdullah – President of the Student Union at Barking & Dagenham College
And surprise guest judge, Sabrina Ben Salmi – Ranked No.2 Most Inspirational Black Women UK
