Inspiring youth, guiding careers
Young Professionals in Local Development is guiding youth on their career path!
The Young Professionals in Local Development is proud to present its "Career guidance" web section built under the care of our Regional and Country Representatives, together with a few collaborators.
Last year, YPLD started a fruitful collaboration with a young, upcoming specialist in agri-communications from Trinidad & Tobago, Keron Bascombe. In his first article for YPLD, Keron gave us the insights of Dr. Jimmy Smith, Director of the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI). Now, for our "Career Guidance" section, Keron interviewed Lennon Roberts, Agricultural Officer at the Sugarcane Feed Center, on "how to attain a career in agriculture". Get the "inside" tips & tricks together with Keron Bascombe and Lennon Roberts.

YPLD has a special treat for you.
Have you ever thought about your personal impact on climate change? How your individual footprint, how what you do every day influences the world we all live in?
Have you ever thought about what your country does in order to ensure your food security? Or to make sure that there is enough energy for everybody all the time?
YPLD has launched in the virtual space its "Intelligence Briefs", a series of intelligence gathering briefs on food security, bioeconomy, youth empowerment that focus on how countries deal both with present day crises and with future societal challenges.
You can access our first three Intelligence Briefs on food security and bioeconomy on the dedicated website section HERE.
If you have ideas of things we should focus on in our future intelligence gathering activities, please let us know at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
