I am pleased that BDT has made these resources available to youth worldwide in our new Youth employment and Entrepreneurship Resources Database at www. itu. int/ITU-D/youth.

Accordingly, the project has developed a database that includes the resources and can be updated continuously as new ones become available.

It is hoped that this database will provide youth with a valuable asset in their efforts to secure meaningful employment and entrepreneurship opportunities.

The database is available at: www. itu. int/ITU-D/youth. A focus on emerging trends is an inherently risky proposition.
