Youth unemployment is a national crisis that has been worsening steadily in the last few years and has increased to unprecedented levels in recent times.
With financial tightening well underway and no sign of it loosening any time soon, it is hard to see an obvious solution to the problem from within our current leaders in many of our sectors of work. Why?
Today we are faced with a generation of leaders who only know how to put programmes in place with government support and incentives, both of which are on shortening supply.
As of yet no one has adapted to the new austere times.
It seems that only young people themselves can solve youth unemployment. But in order to enable young people to achieve this, we need to capitalise on the business capacity that they can provide.
This can only be achieved through a radical reshaping of the current curriculum so it entrenches entrepreneurship into young people.
