Addressing Education and Skills Gaps for Vulnerable Youths in Haiti: Promoting rural socio-economic development in South and Grande Anse Departments

The project will target young women and men (15-25 years old) in the South and Grand Anse rural and semi urban areas out of a job. ILO will collaborate with local authorities, local farming, representative of youth groups and fishery associations and school district to identify these young men and women who belong to the most vulnerable households. To reach people who want to enrol in the Vocational Training/apprenticeship session, ILO will use local media, open days in schools and TVET centres and campaigns through local farming and fishery associations, to make awareness of the program and convey information on its goals, strategies and benefits for those who seek to improve their employability and access the labor market. ILO will take all actions to remove all barriers that could prevent inclusion and gender balance. In all the intervention, the media, open and direct meeting to voice the equal opportunity of the project for both genders. Moreover, ILO will reach women groups and promote the project activities with them.
