The Youth Leadership Series (YLS) has always featured professionals from various walks of life to facilitate high-impact sessions. The featured guests discuss relevant issues that include but are not limited to agribusiness, entrepreneurship, digital technology, and women in business. These conversations have helped empower the young participants with the requisite knowledge to prepare them for life’s journeys. This year’s edition of YLS would be no different.
