Description
The Youth Employment Project (YEP), funded by the U.S. State Department’s Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI) and implemented by World Learning in partnership with nine Algerian technical and vocational institutes, presents a response to this question that is relevant for all education and training providers as well as governmental and non-governmental promoters of youth in Algeria and the region.
Bringing together qualitative evidence from 90 employed and unemployed young women and men in six wilayas of Algeria, as well as data from interviews with employers from around the country, this research complements the Youth Employment Project’s biannual large-scale employment tracer studies, which gather data on the employment status of thousands of young project beneficiaries twice per year. The indepth view offered by this qualitative research suggests that Algerian youth most need to develop 12 specific soft skills and 6 core functional job search skills in order to gain access to employment, or create their own through entrepreneurship.
