YTEPP Lim­it­ed hopes to put more young en­tre­pre­neurs in­to the busi­ness com­mu­ni­ty.

On Fri­day YTEPP com­plet­ed its na­tion­wide train­ing pro­gramme tar­get­ed for bud­ding en­tre­pre­neurs at its Ch­agua­nas head­quar­ters.

Chris­to Cave, head of En­tre­pre­neur­ial De­vel­op­ment at YTEPP said the pro­gramme is fund­ed by BPTT to the tune of $400,000 and was spread across both is­lands.

He said over 75 young en­tre­pre­neurs were se­lect­ed from a field 300 ap­pli­cants.

He said 10 trainees would be get­ting $20,000 each in No­vem­ber as seed cap­i­tal to in­ject in­to their busi­ness­es.

The train­ing was done by Verdelle Jef­frey, a spe­cial­ist who as­sist­ed the youth in craft­ing a busi­ness plan that took in­to con­sid­er­a­tion all the rel­e­vant el­e­ments that would en­sure prop­er path­ways to suc­cess.

Cave said once youth get the prop­er frame­work for de­vel­op­ment they can be­come more suc­cess­ful at what they do.
