Making Cents International is a U.S based organization that hosts the Youth Economic Opportunities (YEO). The YEO 2030 Initiative is building on the success of the past Global Youth Economic Opportunity Summits by emphasizing youth leadership and by linking learning to action. It will place young people at the helm into taking concrete actions with a broader community of stakeholders to advance achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8.
This year, the Global YEO Summit created 10 work groups under these three thematic pillars. One of these 10 work groups is Private Sector Leadership, which is intended to support private sector to better understand youth values and beliefs vis-à-vis work-based learning (e.g., How to engage with youth and prepare for participation in the workplace and incorporate a youth focused outlook into workforce development strategies)
