📋 Tender Overview
A team made up of students from the University of Huánuco and the National University of San Marcos, took first place in the Self-Employment Challenge of the "Ideathon for Youth Employment 2024", organized by the Ministry of Labor and Employment Promotion (MTPE) and the ILO, with an innovative proposal for a virtual platform for comprehensive support for the self-employed.
The winning project, entitled "Emprende Pues Oe!", was developed by Leonardo Leonel Arévalo Calderón from the University of Huánuco, together with Gaby Valeria Godoy Mori, Yunior Rodolfo De la Cruz Molina and Hemerzon Marx Oblitas Chávez from UNMSM. The proposal stood out among 90 young people distributed in 24 participating teams for its comprehensive and sustainable approach.
The proposed platform seeks to become a comprehensive virtual center that connects young entrepreneurs with sectorized training programs, accessible financing options, and ongoing advice for the formalization of their businesses. This initiative responds to the need to create new productive self-employment opportunities for Peruvian youth.
The winning proposals will be evaluated, reviewed and analyzed by the Ministry of Labor and Employment Promotion within its jurisdiction, with the aim of contributing to the design of more effective public policies and programs for the benefit of young people.
The competition, which received a total of 149 proposals from more than 500 young people from twenty regions of the country, demonstrates the potential of collaboration between students from different areas of the country to generate innovative solutions.
