Asia & Oceania
In this region where countries with already huge youth contingents are experiencing massive population growth, we offer solutions for turning the youth bulge into a demographic dividend. Beginning more than two decades ago, we’ve empowered young people here with the information, skills, and mentoring to succeed as employees and as entrepreneurs. Working with international partners, we’ve developed initiatives that offer youth market-relevant training to help them win jobs and close the skills gap. As part of our commitment to our global partner network, we support local organizations through workshops, tailored curricula, and mentoring that build their capacity to serve youth.
