Laksamana College was founded in 2003 to provide the next generation of Bruneians with training and exposure to the world of business. Today, as the government is calling for diversification due to the oil price, the mandate of training the next generation of entrepreneurs has never been more urgent and significant. How has Laksamana College responded to this?
As YB Pehin Hapidz stated in his founding statement, since our inception, developing entrepreneurs has always been the core of our existence. At Laksamana College, we encourage students to not only consider careers with the government. We constantly challenge students to identify opportunities; to ask the question about what the market needs; and the find solutions that will fill the gaps. Regarding this, we are actively engaged with the business community through BBBF (British Brunei Business Forum) in trying to establish dialogues; and conducting sessions on our premises to share the latest practical and market knowledge with our students.
We are a forward-thinking higher education institution aiming to prepare our students for a quickly-changing world. We equip our students with 21st Century skills, critical thinking skills, global perspective, and respect for core Brunei values of honesty, integrity, loyalty, and compassion. Developing these skills is at the heart of the education we offer. Students will have success for today and be prepared for tomorrow.
We desire to create an educational atmosphere that students will love being around. Our programs are intended to empower students to tackle challenges and take on experiences that may be new to them. At Laksamana College of Business, we are constantly striving to make learning fun and dynamic so that all of our students can accomplish their goals.
