Profile
Eighteen to thirty-five, trained through a technical institute or apprenticeship in a building, mechanical or agricultural trade. Rural areas have a genuine shortage of exactly these skills, which means the market exists before the business does. This archetype qualifies for the deepest concentration of youth instruments in the entire system and rarely knows it.
Strengths
- A trade with immediate local demand
- Eligibility for every youth-weighted instrument
- Physical capability and long working horizon
- Low personal cost base
Obstacles
- No capital and no credit history
- No experience of running a business as distinct from doing the work
- Equipment costs that exceed available savings
- Peer pressure toward emigration
