The establishment of the Empower Bank highlights the Government’s recognition of the youth’s role in the development agenda. Youths are crucial for future leadership, and this Programme will help prepare them for these roles. The Ministry of Youth Empowerment, Development, and Vocational Training plans to set up Youth hubs across all provinces to serve as centers for development projects, life skills training, and information communication.
During the launch, the Youth Empowerment Forum will run alongside the event, aiming to provide a platform for the President to engage with the youth, identify and develop the socio-economic potential of young people, unlock socio-economic opportunities by engaging policymakers to harness the youth’s potential towards achieving Vision 2030, and increase awareness, commitment, and investment in youth development initiatives.
Zimbabwean youths are encouraged to take advantage of these Government initiatives to create employment opportunities.
The Youth Empowerment Forum will be rolled out across all ten provinces, and young people are urged to be part of this significant development. The Second Republic is committed to leaving no one behind.
