"Today
we are redefining the geography of community and accepting shared
accountability for common human values. We have the chance to extend the notion
that all men are created equal to every human being on the planet. This will
require global structures and products we are only beginning to imagine....
Each of us in his or her own way can contribute something by thinking -- and
acting -- like a true global citizen. We have only one world for all of us on
earth, and the future really is ours to create, in a world we dare to imagine
together."
Every one of us has his/her own uniqueness, it is a must to put effort to express and share it with the entire world. To live the world we dare to imagine together we have to work hard to live our positive footprint and create value.
On my path I tried to do some things in this direction, something has been done, yet a lot has to be done.
I AM A GLOBAL
CITIZEN WITH AN ITALIAN HEART
In May 2013, I was fortunate to enroll in the University of
Pennsylvania course, International Leadership. After this course, I founded a
Non Governmental Organization which helps fight female genital mutilation and
gender inequality. I was able to relay my vision and its possible future impact
to the director of the program, resulting in him financially backing an
endeavor that grew into both the successful launch of the Dreamless foundation
campaign and of my newfound passion for social entrepreneurship.

After returning to Milan, Italy, I interviewed and was able to
obtain an internship at Telethon, an Italian nonprofit foundation which cares
about funding research for genetic diseases.
These experiences gave me the
opportunity to focus better on my future and my goals. I understood values and
culture are fundamentals for any of us: I started to feel the crave and the
need to find a way to give an added value to the society as an engaged global
citizen with an Italian heart.
My grandfather had a major formative influence on me growing up,
which he does also to this day even if he is not anymore with us. He was able
to successfully manage uprightness, both on civil commitment, business venture
and in the more intimate family responsibilities. He has been the symbol of a
ruling class evocation who has known how to honor our country. He touched with
hands the awareness that life is deemed to be lived only if devoted to family,
persevered in working and finally at the service of social benefit, and he
educate me to work for similar endeavors.
His mentorship let me
think, and understand how is possible to create value also with pure business.
As a consequence, I
started to organize concerts with famous DJS to change people idea about music.
Everybody always links concerts to drugs and alcohol, I worked hard to promote
music as an international powerful language which can link people all over the
world, raise awareness about social issues and provide value.
I had different experiences
in my past, and I always wanted to allowed my peers to understand the benefit
of being self-made. I am aiming to fight youth unemployment, and because new
generation does not want 9to5 anymore but it wants flexible schedule I found a
possible answer in leveraging technology to make short time job industry
easier.
My girlfriend wanted to find
a way to visit me without using her parents’ money (we did not live in the same
city). Initially she tried to find some short term job options for the summer,
but she quickly found the process to be riddled with scams, time consuming, and
ineffective in giving her feedback to improve her search. In most cases she
wouldn’t even hear back from the places she applied to, leaving her unable to
improve her strategy. Our relationship had ended, but the obstacles she ran
into with something that should have been an easy process continued to bother
me.
I decided to start Yobs
technologies, and I moved to California to do it at best I could. My motivation
for starting the company came from this context, of wanting to make it possible
for anyone with any reason for wanting a short term job to be able to find one
effectively and efficiently.
Yobs is the new digital staffing service that leverages
powerful technology to become the personal manager of college students. We find
work environments that match the needs of Gen Y in an affordable, simple, and
humanizing way.
At the same time, Through Yobs, employers get exclusive
access to a modern-workforce of millennial talent with the goal to fight youth
unemployment.

RispondiEliminaI am impressed to see you actually have done so much to improve the world and make the globe a better place to live.
RispondiEliminaSometimes, I think it's a very sophisticated and intertwined question to think whether we need to exert direct impact in the world. To elaborate, I guess a better question to raise is whether we should blame scientists for spending millions of dollars on things such as Large Hadron Colliders because they are trying to explore the more advanced knowledge rather than spending the money to help people who are in deep poverty and are even unable to drink clean water on a daily basis?
I guess it's hard to judge people’s intention from what they are doing. By all means, the best every human being could be doing is to do their job and take care of themselves. Creating social value doesn't mean everyone needs to go to Africa and stay there with local residents.
Diversity is allowed to help people via distinct approaches. And I think your creation of Yobes enables youth to contribute value to society in a more efficient way and I’m glad I can use this App someday in the future in case I don't have a job.
That being said, to make the App a widely applicable tool for people to save their time during the job search, you can try to expand the scope of audience by incorporating people who are unemployed, regardless of their education or age. And to make it more customized, you can add several filters based on their education/age, so you are leveraging the resources/platforms you have to help more people.
You must have learned alot
RispondiEliminaYou did a really good job . I'm sure one day your hard work will pay off. And I love you APP ideas and I wish you all the best
