Role of Entrepreneurs in Creating Employment Opportunities
The latest episode of Jwandai Jazbey (alive spirits) highlighted the importance of entrepreneurs in socio-economic development of Pakistan by generating employment opportunities in the country.
The key discussion points included business management, creativity and innovation, role of business schools, online work opportunities, fund acquisition from financial institutions, legal requirement for starting a business in Pakistan and the skills required for entrepreneurs to kick off their businesses. Moreover, the program shed light on the achievement of Mr. Mohammad Arshad, a young entrepreneur from Peshawar, who was the studio guest in the show.
Mr. Arshad said: “Entrepreneurs play an important role in the national economic development. Business schools should focus on enhancing students’ entrepreneurial spirits so that we have more entrepreneurs than job seekers in the market.”
A radio report was made part of the program. The report highlighted an event that was organized in Peshawar for young entrepreneurs to present their ideas in front of investors to promote their businesses.
Two callers shared their views live in the program. They felt that, due to the low employment rate in Pakistan, there is an urgent need to promote entrepreneurial initiatives in Pakistan and thus counteract unemployment.
