|
On 17th September 2011, JCI Dublin and the Finglas Youth Resource Centre organised “Young people and business” seminar
Over the week of the 11th to the 18th of September Junior Chamber International (JCI) members from around Ireland have been rolling up their sleeves and getting involved in their local communities.
After giving blood on Thursday 15th September, JCI Dublin members provided business minded young people the basics required to start a business during a 1 day seminar as part of Active Citizenship Week.
Laurynas Binderis, who sits in the Board of the Finglas Youth Resource Centre and has recently be named most active JCI Dublin member, said “Young people hold the key of the economic future of this country.
As a budding entrepreneur myself, I want to see more young people equipped with the knowledge and network and feeling confident to start a business. This is why I wanted to carry out this project”.
On the day, participants received information on how to start a business, get insight on finance, marketing, human resource management among others, and will benefit from JCI Dublin’s assistance if they want to develop an idea and create a business plan.
A few minutes after the seminar, Chris Lascor, President of JCI Dublin added “The Dublin branch of Junior Chamber International is full of talented and skillful members who are eager to share their knowledge and create a positive impact in their community. Thanks to the Finglas Youth Resource Centre support, our volunteers’ presentations and the energy of each participant, the seminar exceeded my expectations. Everyone learnt something today and one participant even left the seminar with a job!”
