Generation Y & Vision 2020: Harnessing the Potential

This project is geared towards helping Generation Y (approximately ages 13-30) to contribute positively to the aspirations embraced within T&T’s ‘Vision 2020’. This is a collaboration between NIHERST and NEXT Corporation. NEXT Co. specialises in strategic planning and change initiatives.

Background:

Feedback was collected from 90 Gen Y members from a range of ethnic, educational, socio-economic backgrounds and from different parts of Trinidad & Tobago.

This venture has resulted in five implementation projects which are now well advanced. All aim to deliver in areas that Gen Y persons told us would help them achieve their ambitions and aspirations.

The five groups under the Generation Y Project:

1. Y-Vision Project – what will the world be like in 10 years and where do you want to be?

2. Entrepreneurship & Innovation Club Project – calling entrepreneurs of all ages!

3. Wired Project – Internet & Technology; make it work for you!

4. Gen Y Providers Group – We have something to contribute to Gen Y!

5. Gen Y Project Task Force – Gen Y leading the discussion!
