OIC International's Youth Investment Summit


OIC International is pleased to announce the first Youth Investment Summit: The Road to Economic Growth, which will give an exclusive look into employment challenges and opportunities facing African youth. As a 42-year leader in human capacity development, technical education, and vocational training, OIC International and OIC Ghana are convening this summit to facilitate solutions on how to harness the "youth bulge" to drive economic growth. 

OIC International’s Youth Investment Summit will convene senior-level government and private sector officials, the donor community, TVET implementers and trainers, entrepreneurs and investors, and others interested in human potential. This one-day summit will feature workshops and a dynamic panel session where leading investors and agricultural entrepreneurs will provide insight into how they assess real investment opportunities and sustainable sourcing.
