2.1.1 The Challenge[edit | edit source]

2.1.1.1 Countering the risk of marginalization and social exclusion[edit | edit source]

Young people all over the world face challenges when trying to find employment and establish their own independence.

According to a recent report by the International Labour Organization, 282 million young people worldwide are neither in employment, education nor training.

Without education, work experience and an income, young people - especially those from socially disadvantaged backgrounds - are unlikely to break the cycle of a lifetime of continued poverty. GoTeach was launched in 2009 in response to this ever increasing challenge, in a bid to provide real support and improve employability.

-Our Group-wide GoTeach program supports children (7+) and young people (15+) living in disadvantaged socioeconomic circumstances as a result of poverty, loss of family or being forced to flee their country. Together with our partners, we aim to help them develop self-confidence and recognize and foster their talents. We also provide young people with early first-hand exposure to the working world. This involves interaction with Group employees, who share their know-how and experience. The main components of the program are our global partnerships with the Teach For All global network and SOS Children’s Villages.
