Across many communities, adolescents and young people face barriers in moving from education into meaningful employment. High youth unemployment, limited access to internships, and weak skilling systems leave millions without structured opportunities to build livelihoods. This initiative responds by creating inclusive pathways that connect learning to earning.
The programme supports internship frameworks, digital platforms, and volunteering initiatives to ensure young people gain practical experience, mentorship, and career guidance. Partnerships with the private sector expand access to quality placements, while platforms like Yoma and U‑Report link youth to micro‑gigs, online skilling, and job opportunities.
With an indicative budget of USD 280,000, the initiative emphasizes equity, safeguarding, and inclusion — ensuring that vulnerable adolescents, including those not in education, employment, or training, can participate fully. Progress will be tracked through measurable outcomes such as internships completed, districts implementing frameworks, and youth engagement in volunteering and entrepreneurship.
💡 Support available — strengthening youth employability, digital access, and transition pathways for sustainable livelihoods.
