The BE BOLD Project.

It all started in Canada June 2009 when the CEO’s (Sterre Mkatini & Christal Jeanne) of INEN Organized met up in Canada to begin their dream of developing Africa through INEN Organized. INEN Careers, a subdivision of INEN Organized was created to initiate the BE BOLD Project. The BE BOLD project aims to mobilize African students abroad and encourage them to be actively involved in the development of Africa as a whole. We strive to inspire, to encourage and to become a support system for all those who have been educated abroad and locally to stay in Africa to help develop our nation together. Most importantly INEN Organized wants the BE BOLD initiative to assist in Bringing Education and Building Opportunities for Leadership and Development (which is the acronym of BE BOLD) all over Africa.
To begin this INEN Careers launched its first networking and showcase event called the BE BOLD Project to bring together employers of companies in Ghana and also to give a chance for young entrepreneurs to meet up and discuss potential business opportunities in Ghana. The first BE BOLD event was launched at Citizen Kofi on the 2nd of January 2010 by the Honourable Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Ghana Betty Mould-Iddrissu. “I wish to urge you to come back and inculcate the discipline of work you went through in the UK and other places into the working environment back home”. She urges Ghanaian youths who have had the opportunity to study abroad to return home with the skills acquired to help build the country. The event continued with a showcase of Ghanaian talents in singing, designing, acting and many more.
INEN Careers hopes to launch its website www.inencareers.com as a support system for all Africans living abroad. This website will highlight the success of Africans, post job openings from companies in Ghana and give an opportunity for young entrepreneurs to create professional portfolios for further networking.

How INEN worked on the BE BOLD Project
They always say practice what you preach! INEN Organized through BE BOLD preaches the return of students to Africa. With both partners being Africans from Ghana and South Africa living away from their homes, it was definitely a challenge for them to understand the meaning of what BE BOLD really meant. Therefore while one partner, Sterre Mkatini, did her Masters on youth entrepreneurs in developing countries at the University of Amsterdam the other, Christal Jeanne, re-located to Ghana to live the BE BOLD project in order to experience firsthand the problems in re-establishing and working in Africa.
This is when the action plan of the BE BOLD Project began! Sterre and Christal worked long hours after school and work with the INEN Organized teams based in Ghana, Amsterdam, England, Canada and USA. The two months following were about getting sponsorships, rehearsing the show, interviewing individuals who were based in Ghana, organization and working on the INEN careers website.

INEN Organized in 2010
We have many plans for the year of 2010 mostly associated with the BE BOLD project. Our website www.inencareers.com is one of our biggest projects for this year along with the BE BOLD talk show which will be aired on one of Ghana’s top TV Stations. We hope to continue to inspire, encourage and support all young Africans all over the world to return to help develop Africa together.
