Youth entrepreneurship is important in addressing high unemployment (approximately twice the adult rate). Young people are more likely to prefer self-employment than adults (OECD and the European Commission, September 2014).
Over a 3-month period, YEP endeavors to instill an entrepreneurial mindset in youth aged 18 and above by equipping them with life skills to be self-sustaining members of society.
