Volunteering as a tool for acquiring more skills!

Learning new skills is very essential, greatly encouraged and advantageous for youth. There are things that the four walls of the classroom might not teach you. However, in order to stay on top and travel with the moving train, it is important to be prepared to fit into the growing social and economic environment. One tool I greatly recommend to help increase the skills of young persons, is to find time to volunteer within an organizations or institutions of their interest. Through this approach, young people are able to acquire more skills as well as share their skills too. Since the demand for job due to high rate of unemployment is more than the supply of jobs, acquiring relevant skills could help fast track an individual as an entrepreneur or better still meet up to the growing challenge for the experiences required for employment.
