Youth Entrepreneurship

Youth Entrepreneurship is the fifth module of a series of courses on Professionalising Youth Work in the Pacific.

The purpose of this Module is to provide Youth Workers with knowledge and skills that they can use to assist youth in starting their own businesses. Youth unemployment is a considerable social and economic concern in the South Pacific region. Entrepreneurship and self-employment have the potential to create jobs, provide streams of income, and build community ties. Throughout Module 5, Youth Work students will learn about the determining factors of successful businesses, develop an understanding of the political and financial processes involved in starting a small business, learn about small business innovation and marketing, and develop skills they can use to support youth entrepreneurs.
