"Although the book is still on my next-to-read list, the article already gave me a good bite to chew on. Entrepreneurship is not only a answer to youth unemployment, but it can be an exciting, challenging and innovative answer to all unemployment. Groeneveld draws three specific reasons for the importance of youth entrepreneurship development from Vogel’s book:
  1. Entrepreneurship creates employment opportunities for those that start the businesses as well as those that they employ, particularly because young entrepreneurs are more prone to hiring other young people.
  2. Entrepreneurship helps develop new skills and professional experience that, in turn, can enhance general employability.
  3. Entrepreneurship revitalises local communities through new products and services and keeps otherwise young and idle people occupied, which is always better than not having anything to do, leaving them feeling useless and without hope.
The words that personally stand out to me are “feeling useless and without hope”. May we fight against the hopelessness that so often knocks at our door in South Africa."

Great video illustrating the stereotypic attitudes many young people are facing when it comes to career counseling. Most schools, universities or even unemployment offices are poorly equipped (and trained) to help young people successfully transition to the world of work.
