Are you between the ages of 16 and 24 and unsure about what to do after you have completed your studies? Are you interested in having a business but wonder how to go about it? Are you interested in developing a career, but you are uncertain where to put your focus?

If your answer is "yes' to any of these questions, then BYBT invites you to register for the Youth Empowerment Network Programme, June 22 to August 21. This programme will give you insights into the world of work, and the world of business, while helping you to develop the personal skills to be successful in either area.
