The Youth Career Pathway project was implemented in partnership with UNICEF and aimed to improve the socio-economic status of youth living in urban informal areas through increasing the employability of 400 youth from five slum areas in Greater Cairo: Dar El Salam, El Basateen, Helwan, Misr El Kadema, and Tora. The project targeted youth, with 40 percent of the participants being males and 60 percent females, in order to narrow the gap between the skills set of marginalized youth and the skills sought for by the labour market. A higher majority of females in the project was intended in order to address the difficulties women regularly confront when in joining the labour market.<\/p>
The project sought to increase the employment rate among youth by providing them with certified professional vocational training that would provide them with the needed skills to enter the labour market in addition to enabling them to identify their employment pathway and how to make effective career decisions. GFD then assisted youth graduating from the vocational training in successfully transitioning into the workplace. This was achieved through career counseling, job placement, entrepreneurship training, and mentoring and coaching services.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
