Young Entrepreneur Council Solomon Islands (YECSI) has strengthened its presence and made its service known to young entrepreneurs in Western Province.

This is following a partnership forged between YECSI and GTACC resulting in a weeklong workshop held in two communities with total of more than 50 participants last week.

In response to Island Sun, Board Member of YECSI Jason Gagame said the partnership marks an important step in strengthening the entrepreneurial landscape in Solomon Islands. 

He said the purpose is to raise awareness among GTACC youths in Rarumana, Paelonge and Gizo Town, Western Province about the Young Entrepreneurs Council Solomon Islands (YECSI) and the Western Province Young Entrepreneurship Council (WPYEC) to understand their purpose, structure, and opportunities.

Gagame said the workshop is more on inspiring and motivating young people to engage in entrepreneurship through information sharing, personal success stories, and interactive activities that encourage innovation and self-employment.

“For YECSI, this collaboration reflects its continued commitment to empowering young entrepreneurs with the tools, knowledge, and networks needed to thrive in today’s competitive business environment.

“For the participants, the workshop offers a valuable opportunity to build capacity, gain practical business insights, and connect with mentors and peers,” he said.

Gagame stressed that the workshop was more than just a learning experience, it was a platform to build confidence, explore new ideas, and take meaningful steps towards starting or growing their own businesses.
