It has been found that 60 percent of unemployed workers in Malaysia are aged between 15 - 24 years old. How do we empower these youth with the opportunities and skills they need? We hear solutions from Webster Ku of L.H. Learning Group, Dato’ Anusha Santhirasthipam of Soroptimist International PJ, and Katy Lee of HOPE Worldwide Malaysia, three of the 12 finalists from Agensi Inovasi Malaysia’s Berbudi Berganda Social Innovation Impact Challenge, competing for the grand prize of RM30,000 to scale up their initiative to train marginalized youth.
