How We work
MAMIE focuses on addressing the growing unemployment and social exclusion among youth in marginalised communities. We recognise that providing training alone without creating job opportunities is insufficient to address high unemployment rates and poverty among young people. High youth employment can be sustainably attained when they are guaranteed jobs after training. We use an integrated approach consisting of demand driven training and social business model and support services to build capacity and create sustainable employment for young people.
Community Social Business Approach
Employment Support Service Approach
We provide employment support services to help young people get into a job and stay in the workforce through the following:
- We support skill development training efforts that meet employers’ specific needs.
- We facilitate and connect young people with potential employers through internship, apprenticeship or existing jobs.
- We establish a pool of job ready candidates.
- We provide fundamental entrepreneurship training and capacity building to enable young people to develop and grow their own business.
- We work with partners’ institutions to provide long-term training in skill shortage areas.
