Timeline:
Ongoing
Description:
The project will be implemented for two years. It will have a programme of activities that will coincide with our chosen theme. The activities will provide the participants with more information about employment.
With the collaboration of the Ministry of Employment we would like to make
some of the job seekers wishes come true; that is to have a permanent job, which is in their interest.
To make this project a success it will depend on the job placement and employer that will be training the participants. Before the project begins we will be meeting the partners and the participants in a general meeting. The meeting will be held every three months.

Background:
A forum on "Helping to Create more Employment through Local Investment" was held on Saturday 23rd July 2005 at the National Institute of Education (NIE), Seychelles. The workshop involved participants from a previous forum that was organized in 2004 and also unemployed youths. There was a total of about of 75 participants.
The forum introduced the project proposal and gave participants the opportunity to voice their concerns relating to unemployment issues. The invited youths stated that they wanted to continue participating in future activities with the project as it was a good initiative that has local investors (Small Enterprises Promotion Agency (SEnPA) and CKD) that can help in the implementation of projects.
Our aim is that at the end of the training programme, the participants will be qualified and guaranteed a job placement. They will be awarded a certificate of participation and we hope that what they have learnt in the sessions, workshops and debates will be put into practice.
Objectives:
- To increase the awareness of unemployment in our country
- To encourage the youths to set up their own businesses
