Two youths in Kabwe have called on other young people to be creative and create employment for themselves.
Teddy Kabwe, who graduated from Kabwe Trades Training Institute, said self-employment has helped him build a house and create employment for five other young people.
Kabwe said young people should not only look at white collar jobs as the only jobs they could do but look at other avenues in the informal sector.
“I graduated from Kabwe Trades Training Institute in 2010 with a certificate in Metal Fabrication and I just decided to form my own company after facing challenges in finding employment,” he said.
Kabwe said he has since managed to acquire two plots and he is almost finishing constructing his first house.
“I have also managed to create jobs for five young people who are also looking after their families,” Kabwe added.
And Suzen Lano, an electrician by profession, called on young people to think outside the box and not wait to be employed.
Lano told a ZANIS crew that young people should use their skills to create employment for themselves.
“Job creation should not be seen as a preserve for government alone but also requires that other stakeholders, especially the youths who form the biggest share of the unemployment levels, participate in creating jobs for themselves,” she said.
Lano added that youths especially those who have gained some skills should start using the knowledge they have acquired to create jobs for themselves and other young people.
She also appealed to government to promote the learning of culture especially for the young people.
If all young people begin thinking like the youth above, Zambia will soon be an economic force to reckon with. In sharp contrast to those loony ‘graduates’ who think it’s the govt’s job to secure them employment. They are not even able to see that the current govt is clueless and absolutely has no idea how to go about creating the needed jobs. There’s something seriously crackpot about these ‘graduates logic. They have been witnesses of the fact that since independence the govt has only managed to improve the numbers of poverty stricken masses from 60% to the current 86%. These pathetic stats should galvanise them to act and do something about their circumstances, certainly not wait for the govt to create a job for them. Hard to believe that our govt is a total failure, but it’s…
