“It’s not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.”- Mother Teresa
Starting with this quote from Mother Teresa, we know that today a large percentage of young people failed to develop skills for their future. There are many reasons for it- lack of education, job opportunities etc. Employers are unable to find suitable candidates with right skills. This is not just affecting today’s young people lives, but also, they are losing hopes to create a good future. Undoubtedly, this is a serious concern for our community but also our organisation.
Considering this concern, Young Enterprise work with many young people to develop their skills and get employment opportunities in their desired sector.
They do it by delivering financial as well as enterprise programmes in schools, colleges and universities. From resume writing, preparing them for the interview to telling them how to manage their money or run a business on their own, the team at Young Enterprise thrives them with hands-on practical learning.
Their programmes offer practical ways for young people to enter the world of business. With the access to the skills base of 7,000 volunteers from various industries, every programme is support with a great zeal.

Why does JPT do this?
Supporting local community is a great idea and one of the best ways to do this is by engaging business with the educational system. Some of the employees joined the organization at the age of 18, soon after their school. So, the main motive here is to demonstrate the local job opportunities to the students and helping them to develop a flourishing career with a leading name like Just Paper Tubes LTD.
