Not content, it seems, with the likely eventuality of practicing law, recent University of Guyana Law graduate, Joshua Edwards, would appear to have set his mind on ‘doubling up.’ Wherever the practice of law may take him he also has his mind set on business. Accordingly, these are both challenging and exciting times for Joshua. With Guyana’s oil and gas bonanza having made entrepreneurship a clear option he is weighing his options whilst not allowing grass to grow under his feet.
For young, ambitious souls like Joshua, however, the road to upward mobility is paved with challenges. He has already had his ‘brushes’ with business. Purpose Employment Agency, he says, is an Employment Agency which he created in order to challenge himself to try to find as many worthwhile jobs for as many deserving young people as he could. The idea, he said, had derived from experiences he had faced with the sustainability of his own, earlier established small business, Wendy’s Pizzas. Good help, he discovered then, is usually hard to find. It was his own recruitment challenges that pushed him to apply his sparse knowledge of Human Resource Management to seeking to turn his predicament around.
