That is exactly what we will work on with YOU during the YBLP season.
Personal Branding is the hashtag you give to yourself. It is the knowledge you have about your interpersonal and intrapersonal skills and how you enhance it. If you want this hashtag to go viral, you need to learn the tricks of the game and be the change you wish to see in yourself.

What our Students Say
Eiman Ashraf Muhammad Ashraf
“The YBLP Program was a huge success. Even in a world where almost any piece of information can be Googled, certain knowledge can only be gained via experience. The best example is Westford University College; Youth Business Leadership program. The speakers have been wonderful teachers to me. Their politeness, eagerness to share their own experiences, and expertise while listening intently have taught me a lot. Apart from that, as mentors, they have always tried to help me become a better version of myself rather than contorting me to their way of thinking. Their unflinching support has been invaluable.
Rosalyn Flory
Enrolling in Westford’s Youth Business Leadership Program was one of the finest decisions Ihave ever made. A wonderfully created curriculum with corporate speakers from all over the world is what makes YBLP so special; in just four weeks, the program encouraged me to go deeper into myself as an individual and better comprehend myself. Not only did I learn a lot from YBLP, but I also obtained an 80 per cent scholarship, which was the icing on the cake!
