Alex's Objective for Artem NexGen
|
|
Alexander developed Artem NextGen, a flagship initiative of Artem Leadership Institute, with the intention for it to be a platform that increases the awareness over the role of leadership, the skills needed for entrepreneurship, and the access to professional opportunities for members of this rising generation.
Alex's modus operandi for Artem NextGen is that the youth who seeking a professional experience through Artem should be enabled to, if approved, participate in the area aligned to their aspirations that, in turn, also progresses other's aspirations from our generation. This goes back to his core belief in a platform where rising youth can help raise fellow youth. His goal is to increase awareness and opportunities through providing interviews, resources, audios, and content. Through the organization's app in development, networking opportunities will be made available. The continual re-installments of Artem NextGen's communication program, will allow youth to further have access to a wealth of professional information and to be shared opportunities that more directly pertain to individual interests. |
