Our New Project with YouthBuild International, supported by the Hilton Foundation

March 2018

We are excited to announce our new project with YouthBuild International in Kenya and Tanzania. For the next six months, we will assist YouthBuild create a workforce training program to prepare young people (ages 17 – 25) in Africa for jobs and self-employment in the tourism and hospitality sector, by conducting a value chain inclusion analysis to determine opportunities (entry points) for young women and men in these sectors. We will also conduct a landscape review of available training resources for youth associated with the tourism and hospitality sector, with a focus on existing skills gaps. Our recommendations will inform the design of a potential YouthBuild’s workforce development training program for Hilton Global.
