Mentoring young entrepreneurs is our duty
“Transferring knowledge to entrepreneurs, and sharing experience with them,
are noble duties,”
Said mentor and adviser, Mr. Fadi Daoud
Who works with PfG programs supporting entrepreneurship, including television shows, “Mesh Mostaheel”, and “Ras b Taqiyyah”. “Mentorship is essential for entrepreneurs, saving their time and effort.
” Under the ongoing internship, PfG has provided more than 100 young men and woman with training opportunities, either integrated with donor-funded programs or through using its own resources.
The selection process is rigorous. PfG communicates with target youths, and announces training opportunities agreed on with host enterprises in the private sector, before conducting a thorough assessment of candidates.
Daoud, who is also a jurist, is always keen on effective communication with entrepreneurs, and other mentors.
“Competition on these TV shows was high, but team spirit among mentors and PfG staff was strong, as we all worked for maximizing benefits and ensuring the success of the young participants,”
Daoud added
PfG entrepreneurship-supporting programs integrate key components centered on raising youth awareness of the importance of self-employment and entrepreneurship. With its mentorship and business incubation services, PfG empowers young people to develop and implement their entrepreneurial ideas.
“Young people from various Jordanian governorates shared a keen desire for highlighting and developing their ideas,”
Said Ms. Tamara Abdel-Jaber
About her experience as a jurist with PfG programs. “In the final stages of these programs, the ideas of the young participants became mature and developed. This was due to the opportunities that the candidates had to put their ideas to the test and compete, with support from competent mentors.”
A key PfG project is the “Mesh Mostaheel” platform, which helps entrepreneurs develop knowledge-based skills, in addition to mentorship, networking, and business incubation opportunities. PfG completed two seasons of the “Mesh Mostaheel” TV show, in which 48 finalist entrepreneurs, out of 3,000 applicants, competed.
The success of “Mesh Mostaheel” has led to the launch of its Sri Lanka’s edition, STARTUP 2021, in which 30 entrepreneurs are vying for a place. Season 1 of the show was scheduled to be completed by the end of April 2022.
The duty to support entrepreneurs requires collective and integrated action by the private sector, the government, and civil society organizations, in an environment that encourages entrepreneurship, and develops the innovative potential of young people.
