What is the connection between youth, entrepreneurship, prosperity, and peace? Are young people equipped with the raw entrepreneurial skills that the future job market will require of them?
To celebrate the 15-year anniversary of Global Entrepreneurship Week, GEN has launched a podcast-mini-series featuring conversations with the dreamers, “doers” and risk-takers behind the global entrepreneurship movement.
In Episode 3, Asheesh Advani, CEO of JA Worldwide, and podcast host Jonathan Ortmans explore these questions and more, including how to instill confidence in the next generation, the power of self-efficacy, and fixed, flexible, and freestyle entrepreneurship programming.
