Youth Inclusion &Employment

Ready for tomorrow !

What is the Project : Youth Inclusion&Employment

This project aims to integrate young people into professional life by offering them comprehensive training in soft skills, along with orientation and counseling sessions. In the first year of implementation, we successfully reached over 1400 young people, 850 of whom actively participated in our training sessions.

The Process of the Project :

1 – Training of Facilitators

After launching a call for applications to select participants, our program attracted significant interest, resulting in a thorough selection process that identified 16 highly qualified individuals to serve as facilitators. These facilitators were carefully chosen from diverse backgrounds and regions across Tunisia. Specifically, they represent nine different regions: Kairouan, Gabes, Beja, Jendouba, Tunis, Manouba, Sousse, Sfax, and Kef.

Each facilitator brings unique perspectives, skills, and experiences to the program, enriching the learning environment and ensuring comprehensive coverage of the country’s various regions.

Following their selection, the facilitators were tasked with conducting life skills sessions within their respective regions as part of our program’s objectives. Leveraging their expertise and training, these facilitators organized a total of 80 training sessions across Tunisia. Through these sessions, participants had the opportunity to develop essential life skills, empowering them to navigate various challenges and opportunities in their personal and professional lives.

2- Guidance day

The concept of Guidance Days aims to provide individuals with direction and support in choosing a path aligned with their skills and aspirations. Under the auspices of YIEP 3 (Youth Inclusive Entrepreneurship Program), three Guidance Days were scheduled.

The inaugural event took place at the Basma Center, where individuals with disabilities were interviewed to understand their aspirations and challenges better. The objective was to offer tailored guidance by informing them about relevant opportunities suited to their abilities and interests.

The second Guidance Day, in collaboration with JCI Mornaguia, was strategically scheduled during the period of school and university orientation. This timing aimed to capitalize on the pivotal moment when individuals are making decisions about their educational and career paths.

The third Guidance Day, conducted in collaboration with Manar Campus, was strategically timed to coincide with the period when individuals were exploring opportunities for master’s internships. This event aimed to provide valuable guidance and support to participants as they navigated this crucial phase in their academic and professional journeys.

3- Mobile zone - Défouli

Déouli is a Franco-Tunisian term meaning to have fun. The essence of Défouli was to embark on a journey across Tunisia accompanied by GAME Play makers, who would orchestrate engaging sports activities with the youth in each region.

Following these recreational activities, the iiDebate team would seize the opportunity to engage in discussions with the youth regarding the paths they are forging for themselves. This includes both those pursuing traditional academic paths as “regular pupils/students” and those enrolled in vocational training centers.
