Fact sheet of the Young Futuremakers Thailand – Promoting Youth Employability
19 April 2021
The COVID-19 crisis has led to a massive disruption of the economy and labour market in Thailand, with disproportionate impacts on youth employment. Young people experience job disruptions, disruptions in education and training, and difficulties transitioning from school to work and moving between jobs.
The project is a part of the Futuremakers by Standard Chartered initiative and takes a systemic approach in supporting disadvantaged young women and young persons with disabilities in the labour market, through the provision of demand-led technical skills training, employability training, career guidance and job placements.
