   Unleashing Hope: How can the Private Sector Turn the Tide on Youth Unemployment through An Ecosystem

   How the Private Sector Can Turn the Tide on Youth Unemployment and Improve Financial and Digital Literacy Introduction: A Bright Future Ahead for Papua New Guinea's Youth Papua New Guinea is a country with immense potential, especially when it comes to its young population. With school leavers, tertiary graduates, and women from single income families making up a significant portion of the target market, it is crucial to address youth unemployment and improve financial and digital literacy. By empowering the next generation and providing them with the necessary skills and support, Papua New Guinea can unlock a brighter future for its youth. Empowering the Next Generation: The Importance of Youth Employment and Financial Literacy Youth employment is crucial for any nation's development, as it not only provides young people with financial stability, but it also allows them to gain valuable skills and experience. However, youth unemployment rates in Papua New Guinea have been alarmingly high in recent years. This calls for a concerted effort from both the government and the private sector to create opportunities for the young population. Financial literacy is equally important, as it equips individuals with the knowledge and skills to make informed financial decisions. Many young people lack this knowledge, which can lead to poor financial management and limited economic opportunities. By improving financial literacy, Papua New Guinea can ensure that its young population has the necessary tools to navigate the complexities of the modern economy. Cultivating a Spirit of Entrepreneurship: Encouraging Business Creation in Papua New Guinea Entrepreneurship can play a pivotal role in reducing youth unemployment and fostering economic growth. By encouraging young people to explore entrepreneurial ventures, Papua New Guinea can create a culture of innovation and self-reliance. The private sector has a crucial role to play in promoting entrepreneurship by providing mentorship, access to capital, and business development opportunities. Partnerships for Success: How the Private Sector Can Drive Change The private sector can be a driving force in turning the tide on youth unemployment and improving financial and digital literacy. By forging partnerships with government agencies, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations, private companies can leverage their resources and expertise to create sustainable change. This can be done through initiatives such as internship programs, vocational training, and mentorship schemes. Education as the Key: Equipping Youth with Essential Skills and Knowledge Education plays a crucial role in equipping young people with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the workforce. However, traditional education systems often fail to prepare students adequately for the demands of the modern job market. To bridge this gap, the private sector can collaborate with educational institutions to develop curriculum and training programs that are aligned with industry needs. This will ensure that young people are equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in the digital age. Inspiring Innovators: Showcasing Success Stories in Youth Business Creation One of the most effective ways to inspire young people is by showcasing success stories in youth business creation. By highlighting the achievements of young entrepreneurs, the private sector can demonstrate the tangible benefits of entrepreneurship and instill confidence in the next generation. This can be done through media campaigns, entrepreneurship awards, and networking events, which provide platforms for young entrepreneurs to share their stories and connect with potential investors.

Spare time or side hassle: an investor that manages a fund for 2 companies. Raised in both Wewak and Port Moresby, attended St. Joseph's International College where he met the core of his ring of friends that today are the majority of shareholders in Novus Investments. Samson attended Marist College Ashgrove, an engineering institute in Brisbane and eventually worked at Air Niugini for 9.5 yrs before moving to the UAE where he and his family have resided since 2008. Sofia reached out to Samson after viewing his tips on investing, after her and a few primary school friends discussed starting a company to invest in property together. We discuss blueprint for how legendary investors like Warren Buffet's model of partnerships and compound growth. Investing K200 per month amounts to K6.70 per day. You can easily start investing today, whilst still saving to build up the equity for property. Crowdfunding is the use of small amounts of capital from a large number of individuals to finance a new business venture. Crowdfunding makes use of the easy accessibility of vast networks of people through social media and crowdfunding websites to bring investors and entrepreneurs together, with the potential to increase entrepreneurship by expanding the pool of investors beyond the lucrative portfolio of stocks assets include Tesla shares and Berkshire Hathaway.

    Rise by SR Curio Podcast | Wellness Wednesdays | Building More Resilient and Profitable Workplaces

    The World Economic Forum reports that by 2030, the global costs of mental health problems will total over $6 trillion. However, since adults spend so much of their time at work, employers are in a unique position to make strategic decisions to improve employee mental health and well-being. According to social enterprise, Modern Health,  64% Of employees feel it’s important for their employer to offer more mental health benefits. 67% of employees feel it’s their company’s responsibility to provide access to mental health services. Choosing to invest in mental health prevention and intervention options saves employers money on healthcare and other costs. Global female entrepreneurs such as Arianna Huffington have created a free and open platform such as Thrive for wellness and productivity issues to be discussed more openly without fear of stigma and local mental health advocates such as Roxy Aila have conducted workplace research which have uncovered attitudes and behaviours. The challenge is to remove stigma, empathize, abandon the outdated approaches from the Industrial Revolution and show how model organizations are adopting best practices to create productive, happy, healthy, sustainable and profitable workplaces of the future where we can thrive and rise.
