Youth to Business Forum
Perth, Western Australia 23rd January 2014
Event Partnership Proposal
The Concept The Youth to Business Forum is an initiative powered by AIESEC driven by a global need for businesses and youth to communicate on major issues and generate ideas for future actions. The platform enables youth to voice their opinions and allow them to be validated and strengthened with inputs from experienced business leaders through our one-day event. This event is the Australian edition of more than 160 global, regional, national and local forums that are happening every year across 124 countries and territories.
Theme “ Exploring Opportunities to Build Youth Talent � The Youth to Business Forum, Australia 2014 January edition will be focused on discussing how we can bridge the gap between Universities and Industries. The markets are ever-changing in this day and age and the Universities and Businesses have been working closely together to make sure that youth will be able to access opportunities that would allow them to be best prepared upon entering the workforce. This forum will allow a platform for Businesses, Universities and Students to come together to discuss actionable ways where they can work together to cocreate better talents for the near future.
The Issue we are tackling
Difficulty in filling jobs 45% of Australian businesses are finding it difficult to fill jobs. This is higher than the global average of 35%
- 2013 Talent Shortage Survey (Manpower Group)
Reasons for Difficulty in filling jobs - There is an increase in the need for technical skills from 2012 . - about 28% of the employers said that there is a lack of workplace competencies and this has not improved from the past year. - 17% of the businesses found lack of experience in the applicant pools. This has increased slightly from last year.
Topics Talent Demand - How are the markets evolving ? - What are the new trends in the market ? - What are employers looking for ?
Developing Talent What are the Universities doing to match the market trends? What opportunities are there for youth seeking exposure to develop themselves into more relevant and sought-after talents?
