Targeting, recruitment, and retention strategies for youth skills development: how do skills-building initiatives ensure youth participation?
When: September 14th, 10 AM EST
Skills-building initiatives for youth have become a prominent component of youth development work in developing countries, working across a number of sectors and themes. However, ensuring participation of youth beneficiaries that are most likely to benefit from these skills-building initiatives remains a challenge for many. Some program implementers have taken deliberate steps to facilitate effective targeting, recruitment, and retention of youth in skills-based programs.
This webinar, organized by Cross-Sectoral Skills Community of Practice under USAID's YouthPower Learning, featured presentations from a number of innovators and researchers working on skills-based youth development. Panelists provided insights based on their own experience and elaborated on challenges and effective approaches to promote effective targeting, recruitment, and retention of youth participation in skills-building initiatives.
