Session 8
Changing Relationships - Corporate, Community, & Youth Innovative Engagement Models
Moderator: David Pell, President, StreetKids.ORG
120 million youth enter the labour market each year meaning an estimated 1.1 billion jobs will be needed during the next 8 years. If chronic high levels of youth unemployment are to be avoided, civil society organizations, the private sector and governments must learn how to work together as partners. The session will explore three recent and current ventures demonstrating how corporations and civil society organizations through collaboration can effectively address youth unemployment. Successful outcomes and challenges resulting from these ventures will be discussed.
