If you know any entrepreneur minded youth then have them listen to Earl Moxam's interview with Patrick Casserly announcing the Branson Centre, an entrepreneurial initiative for the Caribbean at 5:45 p.m. on RJR today.

Here is the link for the live feed:

The Branson Centre, an international foundation of Sir. Richard Branson's Virgin Group is being spearheaded by Virgin Unite and will be based in Montego Bay. The Branson Centre will provide financial and technical support to individuals and small groups wishing to get started with new business ideas.

It will start doing business in the first quarter of next year.

This is a very exciting opportunity for Jamaican youth. Spread the word!

" financial and technical support " lending money at what interest rate.

Just got word the interview was postponed until Monday.

Here is more info on the program from the Gleaner.

It's not just the 2M pounds that Sir Richard the Roots brings. To have a focal point which encourages our hidden talents and includes Ja in Virgin's network is timely.

It will be interesting to see how 'Sustainable Business Opportunities' are approached. Will the aim be a constant flow of $ along with a untroubled flow of Livity? Or, chop, burn, build and asphalt?

I don't believe a way has been found to add interest, simple or compound, to Encouragement or Each One Teach One.

Good for Pig Fat Bay* too.

Invite the man nuh! If he has not yet, I'm sure he'll enjoy TB.

The "financial and technical support" will not come at any cost to the beneficiaries, "Cautious".
