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. Read more >>
