In Africa, more than 40% of young people aged 15-24 are unemployed. This is because there is the lack of vocational and technical education and training to equip this young people with marketable skills equipping them for competition in today’s job market. Improving the match between vocational training offers and employer demand is a major challenge in Africa. Through Happy Children for Africa’s work, we have helped train at least 30 adolescents with self-sustaining technical skills.
