School leavers and young professionals face many challenges as they transition into the work environment. These challenges include restricted employment opportunities, disparities in education between urban and rural regions affecting the employability of graduates, mismatches in skills leading to unemployment or underemployment, economic instability influencing job creation and market stability, dominance of the informal sector offering precarious employment prospects, and restricted access to professional networks impacting their job search, and discrimination based on race, gender, and socioeconomic status complicating the hiring process. With various initiative such as access to life coaching and masterclasses by various industry experts and skilled partners, our focus is to help school leavers and young professionals face these challenges.  For more information, visit our website here: https://lnkd.in/d9XP2FuJ #Employment #CareerTips #ProfessionalDevelopment #ThePhoenixLinkProgram #CareerGrowth
