What We Do
Since 2016, Youth Employ & Development Initiative has worked to equip young people with practical skills, support enterprise development and connect participants to opportunities.
Across the programme record, the organisation has delivered training-focused programmes and collaborated with public and private-sector partners to expand youth opportunity.
Skills Development
Training focus: TVET (Technical and Vocational Education and Training), digital skills, entrepreneurship and employability. The supplied programme record identifies every listed event as a training activity.
Enterprise & Employment
150+ businesses supported through skills and enterprise interventions. 10 businesses/beneficiaries funded through direct funding support. 50+ employment placements facilitated, connecting beneficiaries to employment opportunities.
Geographic & Community Reach
3 states reached: Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Lagos and Kaduna. 200+ volunteers engaged in supporting programmes and community delivery.
The original event record documents a series of training programmes and collaborations with participant figures spanning 2017 to 2026.
Reach:
The programme record demonstrates sustained youth engagement across a decade, with major attendance
milestones including 1,500 participants at imPROVE Summit 5.0 and 1,000+ at the 2026 Global Youth Forum.
Skills:
Training is central to the initiative's delivery model, spanning TVET, digital skills, entrepreneurship and
employability.
Enterprise:
More than 150 businesses have been supported, alongside direct funding for 10 businesses/beneficiaries.
Opportunity:
More than 50 employment placements have been facilitated, linking youth development to practical
economic opportunity.
Community:
More than 200 volunteers and a broad network of institutional and corporate partners extend the
initiative's capacity and reach.
The documented participant reach is calculated from the participant figures in the supplied event and partnership record.
It should be presented as documented reach, because participants across separate programmes may overlap.
The source record contains 1,000+ and 3,000+ figures, so the aggregate is expressed conservatively as 8,500+ rather than as an exact unduplicated beneficiary count. Partnership reach is reported separately where appropriate.
This document does not convert attendance into outcomes that were not supplied.
