The challenges facing graduates and young entrepreneurs have been the focus of many discussions in recent times. The number of fresh graduates who keep adding up to the bunch of unemployed graduates keeps surging and worsening the unemployment menace every year. The few graduates who chance on pockets of jobs face a variety of challenges including work experience requirements, knowledge of basic organizational skills, monetary demands and for some females, sexual demands and organizational policies that detract their family life. Those with brilliant business ideas face difficulties with start-up capital whiles other young entrepreneurs also battle with survival in the market. Their inability to manage these challenges well affects their career development and progress.

It is in this regard that Youth Without Borders Ghana and Kumasi Hive are organizing a public forum on the theme: Youth Employment and Entrepreneurship Forum. The Forum will focus on the challenges of young entrepreneurs and graduates in the modern dispensation. At the end of the forum, participants would gain new knowledge on ensuring career success in the face of the aforementioned challenges.
