Professor Muhammad Yunus became the founder of microfinance and a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. His journey to setting up Grameen Bank, one of the world's most transformational 'social businesses', started in the most humble of ways. By going into a village in his native Bangladesh, he sought to see how he could help just one person living in poverty. Through experience, he learned how he could better help more people. Always aiming higher. Always trying to scale. Grameen Bank now has over 2,500 branches and supports almost 10 million people worldwide.

The theme for World Youth Skills Day 2021, "Reimagining Youth Skills Post-Pandemic," emphasizes skills that the youth need to acquire currently and in the future. The Global Pandemic has highlighted the importance of resilience in entrepreneurs. Several businesses failed and diminished during the Covid-19 pandemic due to their inability to adapt, whereas others who were resilient; flourished. Training and education over the years help develop resilience in youth, but the closure of education and training institutes has affected the skill development process worldwide. YY Goshthi Incubee Mushfiqur Rahman Saad, Founder of Wizkit, shares his insight on how we can ensure skills development among youth and help them recover from the learning and training losses caused by the pandemic.
