Sectorial strategy to promote Youth Employment

The sectorial strategy to promote Youth Employment is an initiative carried out by the Fundación Esquel and Esquel Juventudes NGOs, in alliance with the Ministry of Labor Relations of Ecuador, in order to build a strategy to promote youth employment. The project was carried out in a participatory manner, through consultative workshops and analysis of the theme. These workshops were attended by organizations that work on youth employment issues, as well as various teenagers who participate in the Esquel Youth Committee. In turn, the initiative also included workshops with public institutions linked to youth work. The Directorate of Attention to priority groups of the Ministry of Labor Relations promoted the linkages and articulation with authorities and officials of the Ministry in question, as well as with other public institutions linked to the issue. Some of these workshops were attended by young representatives of the People's Parliament. The results of this process were recorded in the guidelines of the National Secretariat for Planning and Development (Span. SENPLADES) for Youth Employment. Furthermore, a document of Situational Analysis of youth employment in Ecuador was developed, as well as the policy of Youth Employment and adolescent work. This initiative was extended for 5 months.
