Overcoming economic challenges through targeted training programmes that enhance employability and open new opportunities for Lebanon’s workforce. Skill acquisition is a vital pathway to securing decent employment across the country, as personal experiences from different people active in various sectors show.
The current situation is particularly challenging in Lebanon, where a series of crises have struck the country since 2019, unleashing a relentless wave of challenges impacting the economy, society, and political stability. This has resulted in a significant deterioration in citizens’ quality of life. According to the ILO, Lebanon’s employment ratio has fallen to 30.6%, with youth unemployment rising to 47.8%.
Investing in training and skill building that consider specific market demands is essential to support employment.
