Top Ten Key Points for the Camp:

• Annual Nationwide Business Trip offered to ALL Malaysian School.
• Participants who complete the Business Leadership and Management Camp receives a Certificate of Merit.
• Allow students to REALLY learn what true Business all about through interactive and practical learning tasks.
• Take a break from the standard academic leaning environment and join a Business Camp that emphasizes practical and theoretical business learning.
• That is a Chinese saying: “行千里路，胜读万卷书”, emphasizing that the things that we learn by observation through our travels from a thousand miles are much more than what we gain by reading tens and thousands of books. We have designed this camp to teach student the power of observation and how to develop the ability to learn from any one and any where that they go.
• Students will participate in a professionally-designed program that involves a theoretical coverage of business concepts and an immediate visit to the case studies discussed so that there is an immediate impact of theory and practical learning within the camp.
• Participants will be able to interact with students from other parts of Malaysia and hence share their different views and thoughts about learning.
• Gain new and interesting college-level knowledge.
• Develop their Communication skills.
• Assist students to gain further understanding on the learning environment of a business tertiary student as Yelex College students (on a 1 to 6 ratio) will be the facilitators of this camp.
