EQUIP3/Preparing Youth for Work (PAS: Prepara Ami Ba Servisu)
Preparing Youth for Work (PAS), an EQUIP3 Associate Award, is a workforce preparation program that assists minimally educated youth (ages 16–30) from East Timor?s most rural areas in gaining the skills and expertise needed to find job opportunities and promising futures. These young men and women will benefit from the program?s 8-month combination of off-the-job classroom instruction, on-the-job training, and livelihood accompaniment. As part of this training, participants will have the opportunity to gain real work experience while applying new-found skills gained through formal instruction. PAS works closely with local partner NGOs to help increase their technical, financial and managerial capacity.
Duration: 2007 to 2010
Funder: U.S. Agency for International Development
