DESCRIPTION: Transfer of Competencies in Mentor-Mentee Interaction: A 
 Study of the Igbo Nwaboi Apprenticeship System <h3><strong>Traditiona
 l Apprenticeship System Offers Lessons for Modern Entrepreneurship</s
 trong></h3>The traditional Igbo Nwaboi apprenticeship system can help
  develop the skills young entrepreneurs need in the modern economy. T
 his is evident from Uzoamaka Ikenga’s research on the interaction b
 etween mentors and their apprentices. Through intensive guidance and 
 hands-on learning, apprentices develop not only entrepreneurial skill
 s but also problem-solving abilities, resilience, confidence, and a s
 ense of responsibility.According to Ikenga’s research, this centuri
 es-old form of mentorship thus offers insights for addressing current
  societal challenges. After completing their training, apprentices ca
 n become entrepreneurs and employers themselves, thereby creating new
  opportunities for others. Furthermore, this approach can serve as in
 spiration for entrepreneurship education, vocational training, and pr
 ograms focused on youth employment. This can contribute more broadly 
 to reducing youth unemployment, poverty, and economic inequality in A
 frica and other parts of the Global South.
