Ensuring the voice, wellbeing and leadership of our youth help drive transformative change
The Ministry of Youth Development (MYD) - Te Manatū Whakahiato Taiohi and other funders have over a number of years invested in youth enterprise initiatives and participated in the development of the sector through collaborative, youth-centric programmes.
We know young people are among the hardest hit in the post COVID-19 work environment. This is an opportunity to explore the expanding youth enterprise and entrepreneurship education space to accelerate improved outcomes for rangatahi.
In order to improve outcomes for youth entrepreneurship initiatives, we needed to know what ‘good’ outcomes looked like. MYD, in collaboration with The Prince’s Trust Aotearoa New Zealand and Aotearoa New Zealand’s youth enterprise ecosystem, have developed a Youth Enterprise Outcomes framework - Efficacy, Economy and Equity.
Youth Entrepreneurship Outcomes Framework
Efficacy, Economy and Equity
Working across Aotearoa New Zealand to support young people in the post COVID-19 environment and in line with the Child Youth Wellbeing Strategy and Youth Plan 2020-2022, we have partnered with providers: to facilitate hui with key stakeholders and our youth to generate themes and share resources; and to collect evidence-based data so we could identify current needs, gaps and practise for Youth Enterprise Outcomes. We have listened to both practice and evidence which has culminated to this new framework, which you can view here.
Proposed outcomes for Youth Enterprise and Entrepreneurship programmes
These proposed programme outcomes have been informed by youth voices, developed through a collaborative process with providers, and align with recent data and evidence.
