We are inspired by the power of using real-life entrepreneurship as a learning tool. Meet Market is a platform and support network for young people not in education, employment, or training to take a hands-on approach to professional (and social) development through entrepreneurship. It provides an online and offline platform, giving young people the tools and support to launch micro-enterprises within the familiar context of street markets. Markets provide an unique opportunity to develop a wide range of skills, with exposure to procurement, profit margins, time management, relationships and marketing within a low-risk environment. Meet Market will help NEETs to explore this by providing micro-finance and support, enabling participants to essentially manage their own business as a learning process rather than purely an enterprise.
