To raise awareness about tackling youth unemployment, fostering skill development, and encouraging self-employment, the Akkelpur upazila unit of Bashundhara Shuvosangho organised a discussion in Joypurhat on Monday.
The session was held around 11:00am in the Akkelpur railway station area.
The discussion covered key aspects of addressing the challenges of unemployment, acquiring technical and vocational skills, developing an entrepreneurial mindset, and achieving self-reliance. Speakers stressed the need for youths to leverage their qualifications and competencies to create employment opportunities.
Bashundhara Shuvosangho Akkelpur unit President Maudud Ahmed, General Secretary Shadman Hafiz Shuvo, and members Rakibul Islam Sifat, Shahria Siam, and Mashiur Rahman Raj attended the programme alongside local youths.
Speakers highlighted the critical importance of skill acquisition and vocational education in combating unemployment. They urged young individuals not merely to wait for conventional jobs, but to pursue self-employment by utilising vocational training, technical expertise, and practical experience.
Organisers noted that the initiative aims to involve the youth in constructive social activities and contribute to national development through awareness-raising campaigns, empowering them to become self-reliant contributors to society.
