What is KAB?
KAB (English full name: Know About Business), which means "understanding business", is an educational project specially developed by the International Labour Organization to cultivate college students' entrepreneurial awareness and ability.

One of the characteristics of KAB course is to let students experience it first, and then come back to discuss it after the experience, instead of learning some theoretical knowledge first. KAB course has eight teaching modules, each with a specific theme, but each module is interrelated.

By teaching basic knowledge and skills about enterprises and entrepreneurship, the project helps students to establish a comprehensive understanding of entrepreneurship, popularize entrepreneurial awareness and knowledge, and cultivate young talents with innovative spirit and entrepreneurial ability. This project is generally conducted as an elective course in universities, and students can get corresponding credits for taking this course.
