Jahin Tanvir says, ‘My key messages are, as a first-generation migrant and young person, we need more youth representation in jobs and skills decision-making, such as Skills and Jobs Summit, regardless of social determinants and demographics.’
When high school students embark on their adulthood, they require some valuable information which will shape their lives in future.
Jahin says, ‘There is no ‘adulting 101’ class in high school that can prepare young people for the big wide world. There were just so many skills I should have learned in school but didn’t - we want to be the place young people come to where they can learn about the real world whether that be through workshops, online education, or conferences.’
As a first-generation migrant moving to this country in 2003, Jahin wants to empower young people from all backgrounds, regardless of their age, gender or postcode with greater importance.
‘I’m looking forward to taking the lead and inspiring hundreds of thousands of Australian youths,’ says Jahin.
