Sri Lanka: Youth employment and SIYB Master Trainers

The Youth Employment Project (ILO/Japan) was invited to present its activities and outputs at the Start and Improve Your Business (SIYB) annual refresher course for Master Trainers. The project with its key partners and stakeholders provided a resource input on how the project works on youth entrepreneurship. This is done through SIYB training, mentorship training and awareness creation on the importance of youth entrepreneurship. The SIYB Master Trainers are key in delivering and quality assuring ILO’s global SIYB and KAB products. The SIYB trainers from the Youth Employment Project (ILO/Japan) were trained by SIYB Master Trainers. The project's SIYB trainers were trained in April 2009 (Tamil medium) and October 2009 (Sinhalese medium). A training programme for a new batch is planned for early 2010.
