ANA reports that the Growth Institute announced on Tuesday that the Gauteng provincial government would be hosting the fourth annual Youth Jobs, Career, and Entrepreneurship Expo next month.  

The event will be taking place from 9-17 June at the Nasrec expo centre.  “Growth Institute will be an exhibitor at this event, and there will be a strong focus on providing the youth with alternative tertiary options, allowing the youth to be work ready within one year,” the institute stated.  It added that the key message to the youth of Gauteng was that there were professionally accredited programmes that prepared the youth to become self-reliant young professionals providing services to SMMes.  The institute also observed that, in a country where jobs were scarce, the youth had to be shown how to create their own work through Innopreneurship, the coming together of entrepreneurship and innovation.
