The editorial this morning goes out to all the small and medium business people. Those of you who are starting the work week looking to earn your own keep, employ some New Zealanders, pay your taxes, and provide a product or service that people want or need. You don't want luxury yachts and private jets. You just want to work hard, be rewarded fairly, have people get out of your way, not be strangled by red tape. Seems a fairly reasonable state of being. But as we know, small and medium enterprises are struggling and have been struggling for a few years now. And with an election looming, the EMA has released its election policy directives for 2026 And there are five of them: stability and certainty, wouldn't that be lovely, infrastructure and consenting, energy supply, employment legislation, and investment and innovation. Amongst its directives, the EMA highlighted what it says is a big issue for businesses: the lack of work readiness among those graduating from educational institutions. The number of those not in employment, education, or training in the 18 to 24 age bracket continues to rise. They've come out of school, they've come out of training, and nobody will take them on, nobody's willing to take a risk. There's no doubt one of the drivers behind these numbers is a reluctance by employers to hire those new faces, says the EMA. They're simply not ready for the workforce, lacking many basic skills and struggling with the simple disciplines of turning up, listening, and engaging in the workplace. So the finger's being pointed squarely at the young people and the schools and educational institutions that have trained them. On early edition this morning, employment lawyer Max Whitehead disagreed. He said it's not the young people, it's the businesses lacking confidence to hire right now. Young people have always been young people. We've always been a bit useless when we start in our job unless you're a rare and wonderful unicorn, you don't know the job. You might have been trained, that's not the same thing as doing and being in the job, you don't really earn your keep until a little later. So it's no use pointing the finger at the young person. Max Whitehead said it's the environment and the conditions at the moment that mean employers aren't willing to take a chance. And he also says that the corresponding lack of productivity is due to us being a nation of one or two men bands who lack the technological capability to be more productive. New Zealand's now a nation of contractors. They're just like one or one man bands or just a couple of people of employees. And they are the people that are really the core of our country. And that's where I think EMA's missing out is focusing on that, getting them on their feet again. Maybe even if some of many of our contractors worked as cooperatives and actually purchased collectively some equipment that would make them actually more productive. That would be better ideas, but that needs to be incentivised. Where do you think the issue is? If you are a one or two man band, you might have a few little young people working for you. You might have some people who've been with you for 50 or 60 years, but three, four, up to 10 employees. There's been an ongoing issue with New Zealand's lack of productivity. It's not that we don't know how to work hard. People are working hard, but they're not being as productive as they could be. Max Whitehead says we lack the technological capability that a group of like minded SMEs could get together and buy the technology, the computer programs that might be expensive, the capital that might be expensive, that you couldn't do on your own but you might be able to do as a team. I just don't think it's the young people. Everywhere I look, there are young people keeping shops, stores, businesses going over the long weekend. Without them, we'd be stuffed. And I bet there'd be a hell of a lot more young people in work if they could get it. You certainly hear of young people going around and knocking on doors and wanting to work. if you're a small, medium business operator, owner operator, are you exactly where you want to be? If you're not, what is it going to take for you to be where you want to be, to be as productive and earning as much as you want to be?

Youth unemployment in South Africa remains one of the country's biggest challenges, but AI, digital platforms, and new growth sectors could help change the trajectory. Kuben Nair, Chief Technology Officer at Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator, joins What's Next to discuss practical solutions for connecting young South Africans with work opportunities. Nair explains how SA Youth – the country's largest online youth recruitment platform, managed and operated by Harambee, helps work seekers and self-employed youth overcome barriers such as data costs, transport expenses, and limited access to employers. He also shares insights from Harambee's AI research, including how artificial intelligence is reshaping industries like business process outsourcing, customer service, and tourism. The discussion explores the role of public-private partnerships in addressing the country's youth unemployment crisis, the importance of recognising informal skills and entrepreneurial experience, the role of self-employment in economic growth, and Harambee's role in advancing the national strategy of reduce youth unemployment by 20% by 2030. 0:00 Intro 0:58 What Harambee does and why it matters 4:19 The causes of South Africa's youth unemployment crisis 11:21 How the SA Youth platform works 15:21 AI's impact on jobs and skills development 20:15 National strategy to reduce youth unemployment by 20% 24:14 Advice for employers and job seekers Follow Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator Website: https://www.harambee.co.za/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/harambee-youth-employment-accelerator/posts/?feedView=all Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/harambee.youthemployment Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/harambeeyouthemployment/ Follow SA Youth For Employers: https://sayouth.co.za/ For work-seekers: https://sayouth.mobi/

Step into Episode 214 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Jeremiah, Air Force veteran, mortgage broker, and multi-unit franchisee of Jeremiah's Italian Ice, for a candid conversation about building multiple businesses, staying grounded through discipline, and why family-focused frozen treats are a surprisingly powerful vehicle for entrepreneurship. From opening his first location next to Corona del Sol High School in Chandler to expanding with a drive-through near Cardinal Stadium in Glendale, Jeremiah brings real talk on what it takes to run two companies at once without letting either one fall apart.The conversation covers Jeremiah's remarkable origin story — born in Guyana, raised in Brooklyn, trained as an Air Force veteran, and pivoting from aviation to mortgages to franchising — and why he's never once thought about retiring. Delo and Jeremiah go deep on the parallels between brokering mortgages and brokering insurance, the importance of systems and high-trust relationships with your team, and why "autopilot culture" is the fastest route to a failing business. You'll also hear about Delo's new book Risky Business: The Arizona Liquor Liability and Insurance Survival Guide, the power of waking up at 4:35 AM, the joy of watching anxious teenagers build confidence scooping gelati, and why authentic person-to-person connection beats transactional business every single time.Chapter Guide (Timestamps):(0:00 - 1:26) Welcome, Delo's New Book Risky Business & Intro to Jeremiah(1:27 - 3:50) Queen Creek Growth, Arizona Roots & Origin Story(3:51 - 5:57) From Guyana to Brooklyn to the Air Force & Valley Living(5:58 - 8:12) Mortgage Brokering, Desert State Mortgage & The Broker Parallel(8:13 - 11:26) Discovering Jeremiah's Italian Ice & Opening the First Chandler Location(11:27 - 14:22) Youth Employment, Anxiety, Confidence Building & The Value of In-Person Work(14:23 - 17:07) The Jeremiah's Brand Story: Florida Roots, First Franchise in Arizona & 200 Locations(17:08 - 20:57) Family-Focused Model, Gelati, Drive-Throughs & What Makes Italian Ice Different(20:58 - 24:06) Managing Two Businesses, Daily Routine & Building a High-Trust Team(24:07 - 28:20) Health, Fitness, Prayer & Serving Mom: Staying Grounded Across It All(28:21 - 31:41) Franchising Advice: Know the Day-to-Day, Systems, and Work Ethic Required(31:47 - 38:38) Rapid Fire: Aliens, Tacos, Pull-Ups, AC/DC & Cheesecake Italian Ice

This week on Let's Talk New Mexico, we'll be checking out the Job Corps program, as well as similar youth-oriented programs that serve different purposes, like the Rocky Mountain Youth Corps. We'll speak to youth who are currently enrolled in the programs and those who have graduated to find out how their experience has affected their lives.

Fewer Maori and Pacific young people hold drivers licence's compared to Pakeha, and a Hutt Valley youth employment charity says that's locking them out of employment opportunities. Youth Inspire has been running a Driving School for more than seven years, during which over a thousand young people have come through its doors. However, they've just found out they will cease getting government funding and if it's forced to close there's concern there will be more road-related offending in the comunity. Maori News Journalist Pokere Paewai tagged along for one of the lessons.

On the KMOJ Morning Show, Freddie Bell speaks with Crystal Brinkman about summer employment opportunities available through the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board. She highlights programs like Teen Teamworks, which helps youth ages 14–18 build essential job skills, responsibility, and confidence through hands-on work experiences. Brinkman also discusses opportunities for young adults through the Minneapolis Park Corps, along with the broader benefits of gaining early work experience. The conversation encourages listeners to apply soon, noting upcoming deadlines and where to find more information about available positions. 

The federal government is investing up to $27 million to help young Canadians get hands-on experience in agriculture and agri-food jobs.  Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Heath MacDonald announced the funding for the Youth Employment and Skills Program at the Atlantic Grains Council Cereals and Oilseeds 2026 conference earlier this month.  The funding covers two years, from 2026 to 2028, including nearly $13.5 million for the 2026-27 program year. 

OFE has launched a new Youth Employment Services Program to help newcomer youth gain job skills and navigate Canada's evolving labour market, offering tailored support for both younger teens and older youth with international experience. The pilot program, funded by IRCC, aims to build long‑term career readiness and empower youth to succeed in a competitive job market.

Markets keep climbing, headlines keep swinging, and yet sentiment still feels stuck somewhere between cautious and confused. In Episode 175 of Facts vs Feelings, Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist, and Sonu Varghese, VP, Global Macro Strategist at Carson Group, zoom out to examine what is actually driving markets right now and where investors may be misreading the signals. From shifting expectations around growth and inflation to the way earnings, liquidity, and policy are interacting beneath the surface, they separate the emotional narrative from the measurable data.The conversation moves through current market leadership, valuation concerns, recession odds, and the risks that deserve attention without overreacting to every headline. They also explore what history suggests about similar environments, how positioning can amplify volatility, and why staying disciplined often feels hardest right when it matters most.Key Takeaways:• Earnings remain the foundation: Corporate profits continue to anchor market strength, even as narratives shift week to week • Sentiment lags fundamentals: Investor psychology still reflects caution despite improving breadth and resilient data • Policy and liquidity matter: Rate expectations, fiscal dynamics, and capital flows are shaping the next phase of returns • Volatility is part of the process: Pullbacks and headline shocks fit within historical patterns of ongoing expansions • Discipline beats drama: Long-term investors benefit more from structure and perspective than from reacting to every news cycleJump to:0:00 - New Titles And Warm-Up Banter2:42 - Framing A Tale Of Two Markets5:10 - Sector Splits And Market Breadth11:55 - Global Equity Strength And Style Shifts16:30 - AI Shockwaves Across Industries22:40 - Tech's Three Tracks: Software, Semis, Telecom27:35 - Short Interest, Contrarian Signals In Tech31:30 - International Rallies And Country Leaders37:15 - Jobs Revisions And Labor Market Reality44:20 - Youth Employment, AI Fears, And Data50:05 - Spurious Correlations And Market Folklore56:20 - CPI Details, Shelter Math, And Services HeatConnect with Ryan:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryandetrick/• X: https://x.com/RyanDetrickConnect with Sonu:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonu-varghese-phd/• X: https://x.com/sonusvarghese?lang=enQuestions about the show?

Chris Holman welcomes Krista Johnson, Deputy Director for Workforce Development at Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO). June is Youth Employment Month in Michigan. With an estimated 260,500 young people ages 16 to 19 expected to join the workforce this summer, how is LEO preparing and supporting them as they take that step? What programs does LEO offer to help young people explore new opportunities and successfully find a job in today's workforce? Why is it important for Michigan to support youth in finding jobs and exploring career opportunities? Looking ahead, how does investing in youth employment today strengthen Michigan's workforce and economy in the future? » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Watch MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/ LANSING, Mich. — With an estimated 260,500 Michigan youth, ages 16-19, expected to participate in the state's workforce this summer, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has proclaimed June 2025 as Youth Employment Month. The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) is celebrating this observance by helping more young people take their first steps into the workforce. “Helping young people succeed today means a stronger Michigan tomorrow,” said Susan Corbin, Director of LEO. “Young workers bring energy, new ideas and a willingness to learn. When given the opportunity, they grow into confident contributors who strengthen businesses and build more resilient communities. At the same time, employers benefit by filling talent gaps, fueling local economies, and developing the next generation of Michigan's workforce.” To support their career planning, youth are encouraged to explore Pathfinder – Michigan's free online resource for career and education exploration. By using current labor market trends, wage data and education metrics, Pathfinder helps young people build personalized roadmaps that connect them with career and education opportunities. LEO offers programs that promote equal access to career exploration and employment for youth with disabilities. Programs offered by the Bureau of Services for Blind Persons (BSBP) and Michigan Rehabilitation Services (MRS) include BSBP Pre-Employment Transition Services, BSBP Youth Low Vision Services and MRS Young Adult Services. MRS also provides training and technical support to businesses that host youth with disabilities during summer programs, helping to advance diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility in the workplace. “LEO partners with employers, schools and community organizations to ensure youth gain hands-on experience in high-demand industries, build professional networks, and develop skills that will serve them for years to come,” said Stephanie Beckhorn, Deputy Director of LEO's Office of Employment and Training. “These early experiences lay the foundation for long-term success in the workforce.” Michigan is a leader in introducing creative and effective programs that help Michiganders and employers succeed. While servicing more workforce participants than any state in the U.S, Michigan is #3 in the nation and #1 in the Midwest in the percentage of workers added to the workforce. Building a strong workforce is essential to growing Michigan's middle class and ensuring everyone has the tools and resources they need to not just get by but live happy and successful lives. On May 29, Michigan's Wage and Hour Division together with the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division hosted a webinar to provide important youth employment information and answered questions for young job seekers, schools, parents and employers.

IFPRI Policy Seminar The Future of Youth Jobs in Agrifood Systems in Africa Hosted by IFPRI, the CGIAR Policy Innovations Program, the CGIAR Gender Equality and Inclusion Accelerator, and the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) July 15, 2025 Africa's population is the youngest of any region, affording the continent an adequate workforce to drive economic and social transformation. However, African economies are finding it difficult to create employment opportunities for this “youth bulge”—opportunities that are needed to advance on SDG target 8.6 to substantially reduce the proportion of youth not in employment, education or training (NEET). As of 2020, more than 20 percent of young men and women in Africa fell into this category. African youth wield growing political and social power as they vent their frustrations about the lack of opportunities. Although youth-led protests and their underlying causes are not new in Africa, the recent movements represent an important moment for the region's youth. The agrifood system in Africa remains the backbone of national economies and provides more than half of jobs in most African countries. Thus, it still holds substantial potential to absorb or catalyze youth engagement in productive activities in Africa. But this change will not happen by itself. It will require sustained efforts in policy research and development. While much of the literature and debate on the employment crisis have focused on the role of agriculture in absorbing Africa's youth, the scope of debate and research should be expanded to include the role of youth across the entire food system. Introduction and Opening Remarks Sandra Cristina Kothe Milach, Chief Scientist, CGIAR Alice Ruhweza, President, Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) Steven Were Omamo, Director for Africa, and Director for Development Strategies and Governance, IFPRI Jobs in Agrifood System in Africa Luc Christiaensen, Lead Agricultural Economist, Eastern and Southern Africa, World Bank Landscape of youth engagement in agrifood system in selected African countries Kibrom Abay, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI Youth aspirations and constraints in Nigeria/Rwanda Jessica Heckert, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI Initiatives to support young women: learnings from AGRA Catherine Rusagara, Head, Youth Entrepreneurship for the Future of Food and Agriculture, Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) Panel Discussion: How can Africa create more jobs for the youth: Cases and success stories from youth-led initiatives and experiences? Moderated by Nana Amoah, Director – Gender, Youth and Inclusiveness, Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) Innocent Ogirinye Adoga, Youth Initiative for Sustainable Agriculture (YISA), Nigeria Mashoko Chakanyuka, Head of Youth Employment in Agriculture, Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) Kisanet Haile Molla, Spatial Engineer, Civil Engineer, Youth Representative for Infrastructure, World Bank Elizabeth Mwende, Agricultural Engineer, and Youth Representative, the UN Food Systems Coordination Hub Esther Kimani, CEO and founder, Farmer Lifeline Technologies Janette C.

Vishaka Priyan is a junior at Catlin Gabel, a private school in Portland.   She doesn’t have personal experience with foster care. But she came across a group called Project 48 that helps kids in the first 48 hours after they enter the child welfare system. And as she heard stories about the trauma and economic challenges they face in care and after, she wanted to do something that would both support them and help them develop self-sufficiency. That’s why Priyan says she decided to research incentives for businesses to employ youth in the child welfare system or who were aging out of it. The result of her self-assigned project was a bill that is making its way through the Oregon state legislature. Priyan plans to testify for the bill once it gets a hearing. She joins us to share more.

College enrollment among young people has been in a steady decline, according to research from Pew. Some indicators show young people increasingly turning toward apprenticeships and other work-based learning and credential programs that help them get a good job.Indiana and Maryland have been leaders in the field and on this podcast, we sat down with two legislators intimately involved in the issue--Rep. Bob Behning (R-Ind.) and Sen. Malcolm Augustine (D-Md.)Behning said participation in an NCSL study group helped inform legislation he has pursued to ensure more options for youth employment and to destigmatize technical education. Augustine explained the approach Maryland has taken to youth employment and the role of the Maryland Apprenticeship 2030 Commission in shaping future efforts.ResourcesBlueprint for Maryland's Future, Maryland Public SchoolsNondegree Credential State Policy Framework, NCSLOffice of Work-Based Learning and Apprenticeship, State of IndianaStrategies for Youth Employment, NCSL
