Bulawayo youths have been urged to come up with projects that created employment for themselves and reduce unemployment levels in the country. Speaking at a workshop in Bulawayo last week, the executive director of Team29 Bulawayo, a youth entrepreneurship training organisation, Mr Cedric Masuku, said young people should be involved in projects and businesses that can sustain them and develop their communities.
The workshop was aimed at training young people in entrepreneurship skills so that they come up with good business and profitable ideas.
The youths were equipped with skills of how to run their own businesses.
“At the heart of what we do we want to teach people entrepreneurship skills that will enable them to be self-sustaining and financially independent such that these people can be agents of change in their communities,” said Mr Masuku.
He said their aim was to assist young people in developing life skills and helping them to be self-sufficient and to be independent.
“It will help to alleviate unemployment,” said Mr Masuku.
He said youths equipped with such skills would not wait to look for jobs after finishing school.
