Young people are launching thriving businesses and transforming their local communities, despite tough economic times and high youth unemployment. The King’s Trust Aotearoa New Zealand offers an integrated Enterprise journey for young people aged 17-30 years. It’s free and includes training, mentoring, funding and networking.
Following an interactive workshop, aspiring entrepreneurs write a business plan and budget, and pitch to He Kākano for seed grants of $5,000-$20,000. The Trust have matched $1-million from the Ministry of Youth Development via a powerful collaboration of corporate sponsors, philanthropic donors and community, with young people at the heart.
