Join us at this year’s Futuremakers Forum from 13-15 July to coincide with the United Nations’ World Skills Day. At the Forum we will hear from business leaders and the employees of the future, discuss emerging trends in the future world of work, and what it means for young people entering the job market over the next decade. The virtual Forum will consist of three days of interactive sessions, including on mindfulness and motivation, a fireside chat with Standard Chartered CEO Bill Winters, and quick-fire masterclasses on career building topics such as building your personal brand through to navigating jobs online.

 Hosted by Standard Chartered in partnership with Business Fights Poverty, the Futuremakers Forum brings stakeholders together to build partnerships and create opportunities focused on young people. The focus for the Forum, ‘Unleashing the potential of young people to succeed in the future world of work’ aims to highlight the emerging trends in the labor market and frame how young people, clients and stakeholders can respond to this rapidly changing landscape. This event is part of Futuremakers by Standard Chartered, a global initiative to tackle inequality by championing greater economic inclusion for young people.

The important youth employment issues in Africa are what we will be discussing, and more, at the upcoming Futuremakers Forum. You will hear from business leaders and young people, discuss emerging trends in the future world of work, and learn what skills people who are entering the job market over the next decade will need. The Youth Cafés Executive Director has been invited to be a part of this panel, in his capacity as a youth business leader in Africa. Join us for three days of online and interactive sessions to learn and share as we envision an economically empowered Africa!
