Youth Livelihoods and Education (YLE) Program
The Youth Livelihoods and Education (YLE) Program aims to transform the livelihoods of very disadvantaged young people by equipping them with skills relevant to the labor market. Currently the YLE Program is working on the ASPIRE project which builds youth expertise in the areas of employability and skills training, basic and vocational education, job placement, small business development services and advocacy. It aims at successfully addressing the growing unemployment problem in Rwanda by targeting impoverished youth and equipping them with the basic skills that will enable them to participate more productively and positively in labor market.
The Aspire project uses a market-driven program design to improve youth employment success.
