Job Innovations

We are in a period of pessimism regarding job-losses and business closures. Parents must be worried about prospects for their sons and daughters.

On Thursday 4th November I attended an 'Intergenerational Event hosted by Senior Council of Devon at the Exeter Conference Centre. Intended for good relations between the younger generation and the older generation and the perception we had of the other.

However on viewing the presentation boards around the centre put together by different organisations attending the event there was one that stood out and seemed to be 'a jolly good idea'. It gave optimism for the future for our young people.

I picked up a leaflet headed 'yess' for Young Entrepreneurs' Support Solution, intended for youngsters :

14 to 19 year old,
Interested in Business
Would like to run their own business
Or be involved in Entrepreneurial Activity

Developing business Ideas into a reality: www.exe-coll.ac.uk/yess

I am a member of the Development Control Committee and wherever possible I vote for applications that plan the building of small industrial units for small businesses. For example the Sainsbury Development at Shutterton, Dawlish proposed for 2012.

So Go For It ...... And Good Luck Young Entrepreneurs...........
