Improving Vocational Training Opportunities for Displaced Youth: Phase 2

The Women’s Commission for Refugee Women and Children works to improve the lives and defend the rights of refugee and internally displaced women, children and adolescents. The objective of the workshop was to conduct a study on vocational training and market demand in northern Uganda, with a focus on programming for youth. In an attempt to help vocational training programs become more market-driven, the team developed a Market Assessment Toolkit for Vocational Training Programs and Youth. The toolkit is a combination of questionnaires and activities to assist vocational training providers and youth in gathering information on local market demand and translating it into improved programming.
