The discussion was centred around the tourism and hospitality sector, but around the 22nd minute of the interview, the eloquent host asked for the employer's advice to young people regarding finding means of livelihood.

Adubea indicated that young people need to get rid of the mentality that they are supposed to be offered jobs upon completing school and rather focus on obtaining the required experience and skills.

"As an employer for many years, the perception is not that there are no jobs but that there are no right fits for the jobs," Adubea mentioned, adding that young people must offer themselves for volunteering services at firms and then state their experiences on their CV to get jobs.
