The shortlisted names for the FG Youth Entrepreneurship Support Program (YES-P) is out!!!
The Youth Entrepreneurship Support (YES) programme is an ambitious
programme by the Bank of
Industry (BOI) aimed at addressing youth
unemployment in Nigeria which is currently over 50%.
According to a 2013 survey by the Nigerian Institute
of Social and Economic Research (NISER), most of the capacity building
programmes aimed at addressing youth unemployment, have concentrated
more on training without any tie-in to the provision of small business
loans, which is a critical success factor to the establishment of small
businesses. In addition, they hardly take care of the entire training
value chain in terms of Entrepreneurship, Business Management and
Technical Skills.
The YES Programme
BOI’s approach to tackling the youth capacity building challenge is to
focus on young aspiring entrepreneurs within the age bracket of 18 – 35
years that have viable business ideas by developing a Product Program –
Youth Enterprise Support Programme (YES Programme), for empowering them.
This crop of Nigerians forms a significant proportion of unemployed
youth in the country.
