The Solution
       Have an idea or a dream
       …now what?

                                How will I pull it off?
                                Where will I get the capital
                                for it?

Our vision presents the creation of a new institution(
even if only online), that will provide the youth with
education, means of financing their own ideal
jobs, higher youth employment and all-in-all a better
future!

                                                                 to become a mentor, is the time in
                                                                 which the students gets employed or
                                                                 creates his own business. That would
                                                                 take about 3 months.
If we continue, that one period in
which a student becomes a mentor
lasts 3 months, we have 4 stages in
one year. Since this is a global                             Educate
project, we are suggesting starting
with 500 initial Mentors and each
Mentor taking in 5 students:
  Stage      Number of Students
             helped and Mentors       Starting with 500 initial mentors
             created                  globally, we could help 312.500
  Stage 1    2.500                    members of the youth create their own
                                      brighter future. And that is in the first
  Stage 2    12.500                   year alone.
  Stage 3    62.500
  Stage 4    312.500
To sum it all up:
Step 1: Educate        Step 2: Connect           Step 3: Succeed




Educate the youth    Connect with                Get the right job for
trough the           companies, other students   the right person and
mentorship           or investors to develop     create a better
program of those     and launch your own         future by letting
who have already     company or get on the       youth help the
faced problems and   right track towards the     youth!
solved them          right employment
Outcome
- Students get a helping hand and increase their chances
of employment or self-employment

-Hours spent on the solution: setting up the first
website, finding the first generation of mentors and
informing the youth about the new option(about 20-40
work hours)

-Young people engaged and unemployed helped: on the
global scale we could reach over 500.000 of the youth in
the first year alone and than exponentially more in the
next years.
