Main Achievements
- Access platforms for employment, entrepreneurship, and training services.
- Reinforcement of management capacities for the implementation of the National Youth Employment Plan.
- Service model to promote the inclusion of women in training initiatives and improve their employability.
This Programme will facilitate access to decent employment by improving the employability and entrepreneurialism of young people between the ages of 15 and 24, especially those from rural areas, women, migrants and those in a vulnerable situation.
This will be done by implementing an integrated programme of “one-stop youth employment shops” in two communities: one in a rural area and one in a marginal urban area. The first result of the Programme will provide access to employment intermediary services, education and training for employment. The second result has a national focus, and aims to strengthen the coordination and coherence of public policies and government action. Collaborators in the planning and execution of the Programme will include government agencies, the business sector, workers, civil society and, especially, organisations run by and for young people, which will guarantee that the needs and interests of the young population, as seen from their own perspective, will be incorporated into the Programme.
