Employment promotion through Community-driven Education and Training
Youth unemployment is a serious problem world-wide, and young people often leave formal education ill-equipped to find employment or to be self-employed. This article proposes that training programmes for young people should include life-skills training and community work, as well asvocational skills, and should be embedded within the community, with the involvement of parents, community leaders and local business people. Such Community-driven Education and Training (CET) would recruit animators from the local community where a cycle of training had recently been organized
and conducted. The proof of the success of the project would be if animators from one community were able to initiate and run courses in the next community, and when trainees who had successfully launched themselves in business were prepared to contribute financially to the running of future
courses.
