EP 28 - Yuha Jin - CEO at Tella - Having To Instantly Respond Is Where You Get Frozen
The Social Innovation Podcast had the pleasure of speaking with Yuha Jin, the CEO and co-Founder of Tella.
According to Yuha, "Tella is short for "TellAfreeca"; a team that started out with the social mission of creating knowledge-based jobs in East African countries for university-educated youth. When my co-founder and I visited some East African countries, we experienced a totally different Africa than what the media portrayed (hunger, illiteracy, unskilled, etc).
We saw that hundreds of thousands of university graduates could speak at least 2-3 languages fluently. Yet most of them were jobless (83% of graduates unemployed in Uganda) or were underemployed. I believe creating knowledge-based jobs is not only important for giving people the means of a livelihood, but these individuals can eventually be the backbone of national economic development in their countries through the pragmatic application of the knowledge garnered on the job."
Suffice it to say that we had a fascinating discussion...
