Today I have launched a $2 million ‘Youth Enterprise Fund’, aimed at helping today’s young people become tomorrow’s entrepreneurs. The fund is part of the Government’s 2014 Budget announcement of $2.5 million of new funding for youth enterprise initiatives. This is about growing the next generation of confident citizens, who can contribute to their communities and make their mark in ways that deliver cultural, economic and environmental benefits. The fund will make $2 million available over the next three years, for projects that provide ‘hands on’ learning opportunities to help youth develop entrepreneurial skills and knowledge. The skills and attributes the fund aims to foster include leadership, communication, innovation, problem solving, environmental and social responsibility, personal management and resilience.
