entrepreneurship and its role in the business community as well as in the
economic and social development of an individual.
To start with this module, let us first understand entrepreneurs and
entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneurs are those with the skills and capabilities to see and evaluate
business opportunities. They are individuals who can strategically identify products
or services needed by the community and have the capacity to deliver them at the
right time and at the right place.
Entrepreneurs are agents of economic change; they organize, manage, and assume
risks of a business. Some of the good qualities of entrepreneurs are:
opportunity-seeker, risk-taker, goal-setter, excellent planner, confident
problem-solver, hardworking, persistent and committed.
Entrepreneurship, on the other hand, is not just a simple business activity but a
strategic process of innovation and new product creation. Basically,
entrepreneurship is both an art and science of converting business ideas into
marketable products or services to improve the quality of living.
Now that you have background knowledge about entrepreneurs and
entrepreneurship, you can now walk through in assessing your PECs. Always
remember that successful entrepreneurs continuously develop and improve their
PECs.

● domain expert - particular area of endeavor
Some people are dragged to the promise of entrepreneurship for varied reasons like
capitalizing on a business idea, building wealth, building their workplace
environment, and desiring not to work for others. Not all entrepreneurs have the
ability to lead a successful business enterprise even if there are numerous benefits
associated with entrepreneurship.
There are a lot of factors that can be attributed to entrepreneurial success
regardless of the goal, task, or activity being undertaken. Entrepreneurship is for
people with a dream or an aspiration to generate something new in the
marketplace. It creates opportunities and opens the doors to possibilities you never
knew existed. Entrepreneurship is about creating opportunity out of an idea and
force.
Entrepreneurial competencies refer to the important characteristics that should
be possessed by an individual to perform entrepreneurial functions effectively. To
help you become a prospective entrepreneur in animation, you have to evaluate
whether you are well suited for starting your own business, assess what
competencies you lack and/or possess, and measure what type of individual
competencies may strengthen your business (Ando, 2016).
In this lesson, you will learn some of the most important characteristics,
attributes, lifestyle, skills, and traits that an entrepreneur or an employee must
have to be successful in a chosen career.

2 Occupational Health and
Safety (OHS) Procedures
What’s In
An ICT student should know how to behave when working in the computer
laboratory or even at home with computer equipment, as well as how to implement
a safe way of accomplishing every task. Safety practices should be learned early
and always adhered to in working with any electrical and electronic device,
including personal computers and its peripherals. This is for your protection as
well as to the people working with you, and for the devices that you are using. The
basis for this process begins with Occupational Health and Safety Policies.

All corridors also need to have equipment stored in one side only to ensure that in
the event of emergency there is a clear exit.
Fire safety Procedure
Each work area has a designated fire warden, who in the event of the fire will take
charge. They are recognized by wearing a red hard hat.
If you find the fire:

may be of assistance to the fire brigade. Details could be size of the fire,
cause or type of fire, any people hurt or trapped, has anyone tried to put it
out.

- If safer to do so, attack the fire with the correct extinguisher or fire hose.
If the designated fire officer is not present, someone quickly needs to take
responsibility and:
1. Locate the source of the fire.
2. Locate any people.
