Can't identify them? That's because out-of-school youth can be in any profession they aspire to be. Through diverse pathways provided by @DepEd ALS, @TESDA, and @DTI they can gain knowledge and skills needed to thrive as workers and entrepreneurs.

At USAID Opportunity 2.0, we believe empowering out-of-school youth (OSY) is key to driving business growth. But we can’t do it alone—we need you, our #O2PrivateSectorPartners. By providing work immersion and mentorship, you boost opportunities for both youth and your business. Let’s inspire other business owners to join this movement! #SecondChanceOpportunities  #youthdevelopment #outofschoolyouth #training

Wanna know how your support makes a real impact in the lives of #outofschoolyouth? Since 2020, an increasing number of youth from across the regions have launched impressive businesses, from snack and beverage ventures to practical, everyday products. Not only have these young entrepreneurs gained confidence and success, but they’ve also become inspiring examples, proving that with the right support, ideas and aspirations can truly become reality. Start building your dream business today and check out the programs offered by #O2PrivateSectorPartners @DTI. #SecondChanceOpportunities  #youthdevelopment #outofschoolyouth #training

Do you agree? When out-of-school youth receive the right training and support from the government, private sector, and other opportunities, they’re empowered to become valuable assets in the company! Over 2,200 companies across industries like hospitality, construction, and food and beverage are already empowering these youth to become employable. Ready to join the movement and make a difference?

Giving youth the chance to thrive begins with recognizing their potential. Thanks to our #O2PrivateSectorPartner @EnviroKonsult, which supervises out-of-school youth by engaging them in various tasks such as data encoding, document filing, and other clerical responsibilities. Experiences like these help youth develop the skills necessary to secure employment. EnviroKonsult has been an active partner, hosting youth for work immersion since 2023. They have trained and employed several #outofschoolyouth since then. We’re excited to see more private sector partners opening doors and helping OSY thrive in the workforce! #SecondChanceOpportunities  #youthdevelopment #training
