Central to the success of the youth employment programme is a partnership
approach that encourages different actors to work together in finding and implementing innovative solutions
to the youth employment challenge. Experience shows that this approach is most effective in maximizing the
education, training and employment opportunities for young men and women. IFP Skills works with
a wide range of partners within the ILO and at the national and international levels.
Within the ILO, we work closely with, among others:
- The InFocus Programme on Boosting Employment through Small Enterprise
Development on the promotion of youth entrepreneurship;
- The Gender Promotion Programme
on the design and implementation of employment programmes for young women;
- The Key Indicators of the Labour Market (KILM) on youth employment
information;
- The Social Finance Unit on micro-credit arrangements for young workers in self-employment a
nd micro-enterprises;
- The Bureaux of Employers' and Workers' Activities (ACTEMP and ACTRAV) on their roles in
promoting youth employment;
- The ILO's Inter-American Research and Documentation Centre on Vocational Training
(CINTERFOR).
