2.5 Vision, Mission, Goals

Revision as of 18:08, 5 January 2021

2.5.1 OUR GOTEACH VISION

By 2030, we aim to empower all young people in GoTeach to attain the employability skills necessary to live an independent life

Employability in this context is defined as a set of achievements – skills, knowledge, and a certain mindset – that makes young people more likely to gain employment and be successful in their chosen occupations, which in turn benefits them, the workforce, the community and the economy. This requires young people to be aware of their capabilities and to develop expertise and habits (including life-skills) so that they can make informed choices and successfully adapt to changing environments.

2.5.2 OUR GOTEACH MISSION

Improving employability by equipping young people with the skills and professional interactions needed to prepare them for the world of work

2.5.3 OUR GOTEACH GOALS

As a longstanding partner to the United Nations, we support the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The following SDGs are closely aligned with our GoTeach program:

SDG4 I Quality Education
SDG 8 I Decent Work and Economic Growth
SDG 17 I Partnerships for the Goals

Our related GoTeach goals are defined as follows:

SDG 4 & 8: Enable children and young people to fulfill their potential by developing their mindsets, life skills, and capacity to reach their aspirations and by connecting them to the world of work

SDG 17: Offer best practices and multi-stakeholder partnerships to scale solutions (collective impact approach).

GoTeach encourages multi-stakeholder partnerships with other companies that mobilize and share knowledge, expertise and technology. In 2017, SOS launched the joint initiative YouthCan! in order to expand the support offered by Deutsche Post DHL Group to additional partners. Multi-stakeholder partnerships are crucial for the success of GoTeach – the exchange of knowledge and experience locally and globally accelerates learning, ultimately benefiting the young people who participate. The program thrives from the exchange of knowledge and experience between employees and young people. Further to this, a partnership between the private and public sector is an important component in continuous growth and the collaboration to improve sustainability and development around the world. The goal we have set ourselves is so huge that we cannot make the vision a reality on our own. Initiatives like YouthCan! are the best way to achieve the larger GoTeach vision, fostering cooperation with others by offering best practices and scaling solutions.

2.5.3.1 BACKGROUND INFORMATION

DPDHL’s STRATEGY 2025: Sustainability is at the heart of DPDHL‘s purpose. Every day, DPDHL taps the unique power of global logistics to connect people and improve lives, thereby contributing to a better world for all. It’s DPDHL’s vision to be the world’s most sustainable logistics company. The Group’s mission is: Excellence. Simply delivered – along the three bottom-lines in a sustainable way.

DPDHL focuses its sustainability efforts on the three Cs: Climate, Community and Colleagues. “Community” means leveraging our core logistics capabilities and our people to drive sustainable social progress. GoTeach is one of the main Group-wide programs to drive social progress in the communities in which DPDHL operates through long-term, community-based partnerships and employee volunteering.

SOS Strategy 2030 – Empowering Young People: Young people without parental care and those at risk of losing it are among the most vulnerable groups in society. They lack the support to successfully navigate a disruptive, competitive world towards social and professional inclusion. External trends like high youth unemployment, the effects of climate change, forced displacement and high individualism only add additional pressure to the challenges they face. Youth empowerment is by necessity a cornerstone of SOS Children’s Villages' Strategy 2030. Those leaving care need the right skills to navigate their independent lives. Significant steps have been taken to develop employability skills, to strengthen education and to give young people a voice through advocacy. SOS Strategy 2030 acknowledges the need to build partnerships in these areas to achieve transformative change at a scale that cannot be achieved alone.

Teach For All’s 25-year vision: Every child is born with enormous potential. But around the world, hundreds of millions of children can only dream of realizing that potential, simply because of where they were born or how much their family earns. The obstacles they face -poverty, hunger, discrimination, trauma, and school systems that do not provide them with the education they need to thrive - are overwhelming. When millions of children aren’t learning, it affects us all - perpetuating poverty, dividing societies, and weakening economies. The vision Teach For All is working toward is one in which all children have the opportunity to fulfill their potential - both to shape better futures for themselves and for the world they’ll inherit.
