Deadline: August 6, 2018
International Finance Corporation (IFC) and International
Youth Foundation (IYF) have launched a new
publication Creating Value Through Global Youth
Engagement: A Smart Investment for the Infrastructure and
Natural Resource Industries.
To highlight cases and best
practices of engaging youth in the workforce, IFC is hosting a
contest inviting young people to submit multimedia projects
on the youth report’s themes and/or write-ups of examples
of innovative youth engagement in action.
Engaged and mobilized youth can help energy, water, and
transport sectors reach core business goals, core
infrastructure and community development objectives.
While it takes many forms, youth engagement offers
tremendous opportunities for companies in emerging
markets to prepare the next fast-growing generation of
skilled workers, including young women; develop new value
chains; mitigate sustainability risks; bolster local and
national economic development; and capitalize on technical
innovations and evolving communications.
The contest aims to inspire and create a dialogue on
innovative ways to engage young people while addressing
some of the problems and needs of communities and
companies.
