Entrepreneurship Days 2024

Article written by: Francisca Mota

On March 20, Penafiel Secondary School promoted another edition of the Entrepreneurship Days. This event was attended by several businessmen from different sectors of activity in the region and a representative of the Intermunicipal Community of Tâmega e Sousa.

 

Vítor Mota, CEO of HCCT, gave a speech about the importance of decision-making, under the motto Your future is your decision.

 

Continuing studies, interrupting them, and even leaving for the job market, are common issues for many young people as they prepare to finish compulsory education (12th grade) and begin adulthood.

 

Drawing on his personal experience, he emphasized the “awareness” of decision-making, which, while important, is not limiting and even less irreversible. He reinforced that the influence of those close to you should not be a conditioning factor, but only an enlightened support.

 

We express our sincere gratitude to Penafiel Secondary School for inviting us, especially to Dr. Henrique Silva, the main driving force behind this initiative. We also send our best wishes to the students in this phase of their journey.

 

"The best way to predict your future is to create it."

    - Abraham Lincoln
