Session: Corporate Leaders Using Technology to Accelerate Youth Entrepreneurship in Times of COVID
Unemployed youth has risen to over 71 million people worldwide.One and again we see that the younger generation of social entrepreneurs have great ideas with grassroots solutions to tackle innumerable social issues, and though they are equipped with much enthusiasm and desire to challenge the status quo, they lack the business tools and guidance to succeed. Simultaneously, corporate women tend to be more sympathetic about social issues, especially today when COVID-19 is spiking youth unemployment levels and they want to contribute their skills and expertise to support SDGs but don't know how. Well, today, in times where unemployment is at its high we need both entrepreneurship but also thoughtful business mentors that guide the growth of successful projects.
Now is the time to use technology to foster digital relationships that reduce unemployment and accelerates social entrepreneurship, and this session will share how.
