IYF - Skills Gap - International Youth Foundation

Talent is not the missing piece. The connection is.

Millions of young people are outside education, employment and training. At the same time, most employers say they cannot fill the roles they have open.

Both are true simultaneously. That gap is where we work.

IYF works with employers to understand what the market genuinely needs, then works with schools, training providers and local organizations to deliver it, inside the systems young people already move through, not alongside them.

Young people help design the solutions. Local partners deliver them.
Employers validate them.
