The Youth Workforce Development Project aims to improve employability skills and increase stable self-employment for vulnerable youth.& For the purposes of this project, vulnerable youth is defined as working-age women and men ages 16-30 with educational attainment of greater than six years of basic education but less than nine years of basic education, i.e. those who are unable to enter into the formal TVET system, have few alternative pathways for education-to-employment, and are thus less likely to secure stable forms of employment and income.& Vulnerable is also defined through the lens of those living below the poverty threshold, i.e. those earning less than $1.25 a day.& This definition may also include LGBT and youth with disabilities.
