UNICEF – Youth Skilling and Employment (YSE)

The YSE project has made notable progress despite challenges posed by budget restrictions and recent escalations. From September to November 2024, 27 beneficiaries, previously enrolled in the cash-for-work program, continued with the project. Following the success stories, the project was extended until December 2025, with an increased target of 170 beneficiaries across Beirut and Beqaa. In early 2025, staff recruitment, budget discussions, and outreach activities took place, including info and career guidance sessions. Future plans involve Youth Functional Skills training, Competency-Based Training, and advanced TVET programs, with 128 youth set to benefit from C4W training.
