6.2 million youth without work. 14 million jobs available. Wait, What?
Year Up has identified a vital gap in the youth unemployment challenge. This U.S based organization points out that in this country there are more jobs available than unemployed youth. They focus on training low income youth with the skills they need to succeed, which is a major opportunity area when tackling this challenge.They also work really closely with employers to facilitate the transition to work from those participating in their program. The model seems to be working pretty well since they report 85% success however they cannot support all unemployed youth even in the cities they serve.
How could this model be replicated by others and especially by those in developing countries, where 90% of youth reside? Do you know any similar programs?
