The initiative addresses the skills mismatch that underlies the high rates of youth unemployment in the MENA region. It also seeks to foster global communication and contribute to the region's economic development.
Program Goals
- Equip recent graduates and entry-level professionals with the knowledge and skills they need to be successful in the global business environment.
- Contribute significantly to an individual’s successful job placement and effective participation in today’s global workforce.
- Address the challenge of economic empowerment facing women and underserved youth in the MENA region.
Working with Partners
As a scalable, customizable training program, Skills for Success allows us to work with international and regional partners in support of mutually shared goals of expanding opportunities for youth and advancing economic development in the Middle East and North Africa.
