Urbanization and urban poverty create huge negative impacts on communities, especially youths (aged 15 - 24 years old) living in difficult economic circumstances. Youth’s vulnerabilities in big cities include unemployment, unstable job and low income, deviant behaviours such as gambling, alcohol abuse, drug addiction, delinquency and crimes.
The Improved capacity and access to employment opportunities for disadvantaged youth in Hải Phòng City Project aims to strengthen the capacity of the youth and provide opportunities for job development and success, introduce them to an appropriate journey to have a stable job and income for their future, with application of 4E model (Engagement, Education, Empowerment and Employment), which is a comprehensive solution for building capacity for Youths to have decent and sustainable jobs. The project contributes to the World Vision Việt Nam's national targets of vocational training and business start-up support for youth and enhance the public-private partnership.
