The United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals in quality education focus on increasing the number of youth having relevant knowledge and skills, including technical and vocational skills for self-employment or employment. Youth problems are commonly encountered for those who are poor, needy and unemployed. Hence, this paper aims to provide a conceptual humanising education business model including an eLearning, mentoring system and eMarketplace to help these youths in Gombak District, Selangor. Through humanising education development business model, this programme will enhance knowledge, skills and values. It also creates job and entrepreneurship, a platform to generate income and wellbeing of youth community.  The findings show that this programme has potential to improve the quality education, strengthen the economy and improving social status of youth with Islamic values. To achieve the objectives of this study, the business modelling tools like the Business Model Canvas and Value Proposition Canvas are used.
