Education For Employment - Europe

📊 MENA continues to have the world’s highest youth unemployment rates. The @ILO Global Employment Trends for Youth 2026 highlights another persistent challenge: high NEET rates, with many young people still excluded from employment, education or training.

🌍 This #InternationalYouthDay, EFE celebrates young people and their aspirations for opportunity, quality education and decent work. 🚀 We equip youth with the skills, employer connections and support they need to access jobs, build businesses and strengthen their communities.

❓ Can a job fair change a young person's future? At EFE, it can. 🚀 Through interview preparation, CV support and employability training, young people arrive ready to succeed. For many, one conversation leads to a job and the start of a career. 🔗 cdn.prod.website-files.com/6…
