Hallos targets youth jobs through digital innovation
Hallos, a live-learning and creator-economy platform, advocates for partnerships to enhance youth employment through digital innovation, highlighted during a forum in Enugu.
Hallos, a platform focused on live-learning and the creator economy, has called for increased partnerships with various stakeholders including government agencies, educational institutions, and the private sector to promote mass employment for youth and support economic growth. This call to action was made during a recent engagement forum held in Enugu, where discussions centered on leveraging the creator economy to provide sustainable income opportunities for young people. The forum revealed that many participants are achieving earnings well above conventional minimum-wage standards, indicating the potential of this sector to empower youth economically.
During the event, Hallos Co-founder and CEO, Alexander Uzoma, emphasized the critical need for investment in digital infrastructure, reliable power supply, and internet accessibility to expand the creator economy. Uzoma's vision includes the establishment of creative studios and innovation hubs that specifically cater to youth, particularly in the South-East region of Nigeria. This push for improved resources aims to unlock new income streams and enhance the overall accessibility of the creator economy for young Nigerians.
The implications of this initiative are significant as it positions the creator economy as a credible solution to the challenges of youth unemployment in Nigeria. By facilitating connections and partnerships among various sectors, Hallos seeks to create a robust ecosystem that not only supports young creators but also fosters inclusive economic development across the region. The positive outcomes of such initiatives could reshape the employment landscape for young people and drive sustainable growth in local economies.
