Youth Enterprise Development: An International Breweries PLC Initiative

International Breweries, as a member of the SABMiller group the world’s second largest brewer, views Youth Employment and Empowerment an important area for development.

This initiative is designed to help Young Entrepreneurs establish Small Scale Businesses that will ultimately contribute to the reduction of unemployment in our society and also better the lives of the citizens.

This is one of the cardinal principles of SABMiller’s “PROSPER” program…..building a better society through sustainable development programs...

In the light of the above, International Breweries Plc, Ilesa is investing in Youth Enterprise Development anchored by a program called “KICKSTART”.

The KICKSTART program is aimed at creating a culture of entrepreneurship among young people aged between 18 and 35 by promoting business awareness and material support through the following:

· Developing business skills through training

· Providing grants as start-up capital (new businesses)

· Grants to support expansion of existing small businesses

· Providing post investment support (mentoring & coaching)

International Breweries Plc, Ilesa launched this noble initiative called “KICKSTART” on Wednesday 5^th August, to help our Youths mainly in the South-west region of Nigeria.
