We prepare young people for the workforce with evidence-based pedagogical approaches and learning pathways that bridge the gap between education opportunities, the labor force, and private sector needs. Our training programs integrate life skills and are tailored to meet the needs of vulnerable youth seeking to find and keep a job; to provide entrepreneurship skills to launch their own careers; and to help youth access technical and vocational skills and tertiary programs that enable them to pursue sustainable livelihoods. Internship and mentorship programs place graduates of our training in their first jobs and support employers in training and retaining interns. Our projects also engage private sector partners to ensure that youth in vocational, technical, and tertiary education programs are receiving skills and knowledge that are applicable to the current workforce demands.
