Sub-Saharan Africa is projected to have the highest number of young people entering the workforce by 2030, offering substantial potential for economic growth. However, this potential is at risk due to high youth unemployment rates. Contributing to this issue are skills mismatches and outdated education systems that fail to keep pace with the evolving job market.
We aim to address these challenges by developing projects, products, and services in collaboration with our Nordic and global partners. Our goal is to equip African youth with the skills needed to meet future demands and access new opportunities.
