Ye! Enterprising Youth Webinars: Connect with Experts and Business Leaders
You asked for it! We deliver!
The Ye! Community by the Youth and Trade Programme from ITC is bringing you a new webinar programme with three core themes:
Connect. Learn. Share
The Why
We are bringing you a new webinar programme to help address three core issues the community has highlighted- access to experts, such as investors and business professionals, access to tools and resources and information on how to use them, and stories and exposure so that youth entrepreneurs can get inspired and connect with peers! The Ye! Enterprising Youth webinar programme seeks to remove silos around information through a regularly scheduled programme with guests from our network and to ensure that the Youth and Trade programme is consistently connecting and delivering on its goal to connect 100,000 youth with market-ready skills!
The What
Each webinar will fall under one of the three themes or series: Connect, Learn, or Share. Each webinar will bring you information from our vast partner network, from within ITC, or from the youth entrepreneurs that make up the Ye! Community. Some partners we will be collaborating with include the African Business Angels Network (ABAN), Citi Alumni Network, Youth Alliance for Leadership and Development in Africa (YALDA), Lex Mundi, Venture Capital for Africa (VC4A), Habitat, and the Commonwealth Youth Council, just to name a few. These webinars will be a one-stop-shop for entrepreneurs looking for business insights, information, resources and connection.
Stay tuned for more on the following topics:
- E-commerce
- Micro-finance
- Trade in the region and global market
- Legal regulations in trade and beyond
- Branding and pitching
- Investing
- Market Analysis
- Partnerships
When
The Ye! Enterprising Youth webinars will take place throughout the duration of 2021 and will occur between once or twice a month for between 30 minutes to 1.5 hours.
Where
Webinars in the programme will be hosted on zoom or Instagram, and will vary on time and duration depending on the target geography.
