Group 2:

A Multi-strategy approach

Create a multi-strategy approach where the targeted demographic would be

able to slot in at ease and contribute back to the society as quickly as possible.

We do this by:

1. Training

The subjects in DIY, crafts and other skills that require little capital but can

be used to generate products/services.

2. Opportunity

Giving them the Opportunity to showcase their talent, skill, and business by:

- Increase Exposure:

* Create a directory of home businesses in each area; easy to find means

more business.

* Create a street market, where booths are rented by the hour.

- Utilize New Markets:

* Encourage companies to use the products created by these individualsas corporate gifts (the engraved bags, crested diaries ...etc) rather than

having them spend that money on goods from abroad. These products

can be created with low labor costs locally.

3. Branding:

Working on branding low skill jobs to increase their social value, and fight

the perception that certain jobs are demeaning.
