Youth Empowerment Program

Why attend

The world now has the largest generation of young people in history. We place great hope in their power to shape our future. Much the world is poised to experience a demographic dividend, the economic growth that can occur when a population shifts from one with many dependents and comparatively few working-age people to one of many working-age people with fewer dependents. Demographic dividends have helped produce unprecedented economic growth in several East Asian countries. The Republic of Korea, for example, saw its per-capita gross domestic product grow about 2,200 percent between 1950 and 2008. It is therefore essential that we educate and empower the youth of this generation.

Course Methodology

The course is designed to be interactive and participatory and includes various learning tools to enable the participants to operate effectively and efficiently in a multifunctional environment.
