Improved Employability of Host and Refugee Youth in Beirut

The project under Save the Children’s livelihoods programme serves as a continuation to the “Improving Prospects for Refugees and Vulnerable Host Communities” programme and targets the most vulnerable youth (50% boys and 50% girls) living in urban areas of greater Beirut. The programme will provide alternative livelihoods opportunities for youth through life skills, digital literacy, and English as a Foreign language at the core and shift to vocational (divided into two: sectors that will informed by the Labour Market Assessment review and Advanced Digital Skills), or entrepreneurship trainings based on the interest of the youth. Throughout the intervention, livelihoods counselling will be provided for youth that includes career guidance services and activities intended to assist individuals, male and female, of any age and at any point throughout their lives, to make tailored and appropriate educational, training and occupational choices and to manage their careers. The programme will also provide Nabad for Development (Nabad), local partner, with organizational and technical capacity building sessions based on their needs and sustain two of Nabad’s community centres where trainings for youth will be conducted.
