''We want to place youth empowerment issues at the top of the global agenda. By securing 1 million jobs for young people, we give them not just a decent livelihood but also a purpose in life to alienate them from embracing radical ideologies,'' said Ms. Sabah Al-Haidoos, Chief Executive Officer of Silatech. ''Together, we can empower more youth. We aim to inspire the international community to mobilize resources and invest in youth development for the security of our nations and the world..Empowered youth contributes to the economic growth and stability in their societies,'' concluded Ms. Al-Haidoos.
The event comes at a time where more young people are falling prey to poverty, unemployment, and marginalization. Youth unemployment is a pressing global challenge and is constantly on the rise, particularly in regions with political conflict and social unrest.
Silatech will utilize the event platform to showcase its ongoing quest to empower young men and women and will announce its future plans by revealing a highly ambitious youth employment quota for 2022, thereby putting theory into practice.
Through an engaging multi-media exhibition, Silatech will illustrate the expertise behind creating the first 1 million jobs by highlighting the various practical tools, innovative solutions and successful programs adopted in tackling this mission. Stories of lives empowered, and impactful partnerships; vital for the empowerment of youth will also be showcased.
