Decent Work and Economic Growth

Youth Employment: Equipping the Next Generation for the Future of Work

Unemployment is on the rise globally, and nearly half of the world’s population still lives on just $2 a day. For today’s youth, the path to decent employment is often blocked by barriers, including high unemployment rates, limited access to quality education, and a lack of relevant skills. Even when jobs are available, they are often informal, low-paid, or insecure, offering little opportunity for growth or stability.

Our Programs

We believe decent work is fundamental to long-term economic stability and human dignity. Through targeted skills training, we empower individuals to enter the workforce with confidence and thrive in their careers.

Education and Skills for Sustainable Livelihoods Brighter Future Program: Providing Full-Board Schooling for Youth in Egypt

In partnership with Little Flock, the Brighter Future supports youth aged 15–16 who have completed preparatory school by offering access to top-tier technical and applied education institutions, including the Salesian Technical Institute "Don Bosco," Ghabbour Applied Technology School, EVA International School, and the Onsi Sawiris School for Construction.

The program equips students not only with academic and technical knowledge, but also with essential life skills, preparing them to become self-reliant professionals and engaged members of their communities.

Graduates emerge with opportunities to work for international organizations or local sponsoring companies across Egypt. At graduation, families express deep gratitude, and students stand proud, their eyes filled with hope, ready to shape a brighter future.

Participants gain not only technical expertise but also essential soft skills, including communication, teamwork, and problem-solving, that are critical for long-term success.

Whether entering the workforce or launching their own small businesses, our graduates leave empowered with the tools to become financially independent, self-reliant, and active contributors to their communities and local economies.
