FREE online entrepreneurship support to fight youth unemployment is planting seedlings in the ground.
Against the backdrop of devastating youth unemployment, overwhelming poverty and lack of purpose, a synergistic collaboration of Durban-based innovators is actively working to support emerging micro-entrepreneurs in creating and growing their own small businesses.
An inclusive project-based urban renewal collective, City Story, with partners including 20/20 Vision Foundation, Domino Business, and Faith at Work, has created The Entrepreneur’s Journey, an educational video series geared to help and support “grassroots” business people, by explaining basic helpful tips and principles.
Written by Leah Sloman, the story follows two enterprising youngsters – Andile played by Zamakuhle Jali and Sithandiswe played by Phanaso Myeza and their quest to start and grow their own small business.
In the process, they are mentored by an experienced businessman, played by Terence Ronald, the founder of Value Added Lifestyle Training (VALT).
In each episode, Terence mentors them in navigating a host of often-encountered pitfalls.
Episodes of The Entrepreneur’s Journey are uploaded every Tuesday and Thursday. They are free to view.
