12 Nov THE PERFECT MENTOR PITCH FOR GEW 2015!”
Global Entrepreneurship Week is noted for showcasing the creativity and ingenuity of both GEW partners and stakeholders, but more particularly, it demonstrates the enormous potential that resides within young people desirous of owning businesses. YoPro, a global non-governmental organization whose interest is targeted towards developing and preparing individuals for both paid-employment and self-employment, is set on making an indelible mark along the entrepreneurial landscape for GEW 2015.
According to YoPro’s Founder and CEO, Ty Richardson “the organization usually hosts event experiences for young professionals to meet, engage and connect with each other in a meaningful and productive way.” He added “many young persons need assistance in being able to effectively sell themselves to various stakeholders; notably, a large percentage of the youths who the organization works with, are employed but manage small businesses in their spare time.”
It is against this background that the organization would be facilitating a workshop themed “The Perfect Mentor Pitch” on November 17th, 2015. “This initiative is aimed at providing strategies to address these gaps; a total of 12 young professionals will be allowed five (5) minutes to pitch their business ideas to a panel of industry experts who will deliberate and share the outcomes in a helpful manner.”
At the end of the experience, participants would be better positioned to present their ideas and/or business proposals to stakeholders including Banks and Investors with utmost confidence as well as having the understanding that they would be able to move their business venture to the next level.
