من نحن

The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) is seeking expressions of interest from qualified organizations to implement an integrated Youth Skills, Employability and Social Cohesion Programme in Jaramana, Syria. The initiative aims to empower young people through a youth-centred approach that combines livelihoods development, technical and vocational education and training (TVET), employability support, youth engagement, and community participation. The programme will be delivered through a dedicated youth centre that provides a safe, inclusive and accessible environment with appropriate staffing, safeguarding measures, and a structured programme of activities. Participants will benefit from transferable and 21st-century skills training, digital literacy, career planning, job-search preparation, workplace readiness, and vocational skills aligned with local labour market demands. The programme also promotes youth-led action by supporting young people to identify community challenges, design solutions, and implement initiatives that strengthen social cohesion, peaceful coexistence, trust, teamwork, and civic responsibility among diverse groups. Through employer engagement, practical learning opportunities, job matching, enterprise support, and referrals to apprenticeships, further training, and economic opportunities, the intervention seeks to facilitate pathways to employment, self-employment, entrepreneurship, and continued learning. Where feasible and safe, supervised local projects may be implemented to enable participants to apply acquired skills in real-world settings while complementing decent work opportunities.
