You can ask for directions..

PERLU is an acronym which I devised for Professionals and Entrepreneurs graduates of Local University. I want to propose a forum for it; a network of socially motivated people with a desire for value creation and capacity building.

The reasons? A fresh graduate who just entered the job market would want to know how to look for prospective employers and to make the approach. The executive need to know where to improve his skills or how to go about setting his own business and what are the options available. The entrepreneur who is always on the lookout for somebody to share his ideas with and where he can go to get assistance for his ventures. And more..

The forum is where they can get all the information they need. A place where they can get the representation and a leverage. A place where they can meet people having the same aspirations and to share information. Not only it could save them a lot of time, it would be a morale booster for them as well.

The Forum provides the incentive for learning and mentoring. Participants will call on one another's strength. The atmosphere is set for entrepreneurship to thrive and prosper. It will enabled the transition of a graduate to become a professional and an entrepreneur to be coordinated and cushioned.

The creation of PERLU Forum will facitate in achieving the objectives for the development of human capital which is an important component for the successful economic activity and distribution.

Firstly, the Forum provide the critical mass; a pool of people with the knowledge, skills and abilities. They come from varied background and nationalities but having a common goal. The Forum brought them together under a self-help realisation; always wanting to be creative, innovative and inventive.

Secondly, the Forum will create more small medium enterprises which is the backbone of any nation economy. Businesses built here are at the grass-root level due to the diversity of participants thus ensuring that development is broad based.

Ultimately, the Forum is the answer to the question of how to foster the climate of cooperation and goodwill amongst professionals and entrepreneurs cutting across boundaries.

P.S. Please provide your details: name[which you want to use], email/website address, graduate/professional/entrepreneur, industry[for professional],business[for entrepreneur], academic field & country.
