– youths urged not to waste opportunityThe Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport in partnership with the Caricom Secretariat is hosting its second Creativity for Employment and Business Opportunity (CEBO) workshop. The three-day event is a follow-up session where trainers are being trained to facilitate similar sessions with other Guyanese youths. The session seeks to expose the trainers to various business concepts and what it takes to start and sustain a small business.The Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport’s Director of Youth (ag), Gillian Frank highlighted the significance of participants making good use of the information to which they are exposed.She also pointed to some specific characteristics they must develop to be successful, including managing money wisely and recording everything.In emphasising the importance of small businesses, Frank indicated that there is room for growth, business owners must be prepared to take risks, are driven by achievement, are self motivated, and it is essential that they stay ahead of the competition.Frank also stressed that presentation is vital for the service provider, and even more so for the customers whose patronage has an impact on the success of the business. An illustration of the growth of Nigel’s Supermarket,China Jerseys, which started as a Stall in the Bourda Market, was used to highlight the impact of customers on a business.The participants were urged to learn to identify and recognise opportunities that will improve their financial literacy, embrace diversity, develop their social skills and the use of networking is a good vehicle to utilise.Also at the workshop was Programme Manager, Culture and Community Development – Caricom Secretariat, Dr. Hilary Brown who expressed appreciation for the relationship with the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport. She noted that the session is a unique one that was not done in other countries. Dr. Brown explained that while a similar programme was done in the Bahamas, those trainees were not exposed to the practical aspect to which the Guyanese youths are being exposed.The training forms part of a regional project developed to engage, motivate, and inspire entrepreneurial interest and action among youth 15 to 29 years old.  It emphasises creativity and teamwork and is delivered through hands-on, interactive, youth-friendly methodologies.CEBO workshops for youth aim to engage, inspire and create entrepreneurial interest and action among young people, both in and out of school and from all walks of life, and provide persons with assimilated experience as participants enter into teams, develop a business plan, receive seed capital and develop business products and services.CEBO training workshops and pilot projects have been implemented in five other Caribbean countries so far: Jamaica, Belize, St Kitts and Nevis, Dominica, and The Bahamas.It was developed by the Caricom Secretariat with input from regional stakeholders and is funded by several agencies, development partners, and governments, including the government of Japan, United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and the government of Italy through the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Youth Innovation Project.This initiative in Guyana is being funded by the UNDP and executed by the Caricom Secretariat in collaboration with the government of Guyana.
