Qatar Charity (QC) is highlighting its achievements, as well as its projects and initiatives, to mark World Youth Skills Day 2021, themed ‘Reimagining Youth Skills Post-Pandemic’, on July 15.
The celebration will again take place in a challenging context due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic as the International Labor Organisation noted that global youth employment fell 8.7% in 2020.
The event will celebrate the resilience and creativity of youth through the crisis, focusing on how technical and vocational education and training (TVET) systems have adapted to the pandemic, participate in the recovery, and imagine priorities they should implement for a post-Covid-19 world.
QC launched many flagship programmes in Qatar and internationally, citing the importance of providing job opportunities and enhancing the skills and capabilities of young people through training in these exceptional circumstances.
Taqat
QC is working to provide appropriate job opportunities for youths in several countries of the world. It managed to train and hire more than 50,000 youths, both male and female, in Palestine, through its ‘Taqat’ initiative, which is one of the world’s unique humanitarian initiatives.
‘Taqat’ contributes to reducing the unemployment rate, improving the economic situation of Palestinian families, and strengthening the role of creative youths. It is an opportunity for poverty and unemployment-stricken youths, especially in the problematic economic conditions in Palestinians, particularly in the Gaza Strip.
Tamken
QC launched 'Tamken', an integrated training programme to enhance the economic, social and psychological skills of individuals, in co-operation with Etlaqq Business Management and Bedaya Centre.
The programme targets individuals with ideas and small projects, those in need of training to enter the market, and persons with special needs, in addition to those affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and willing to have a project that ensures a steady source of income.
Income-generating Projects
QC also attaches significant attention to income-generating projects that aim to improve the living conditions of families with low incomes and help them to be self-reliant. These projects are implemented in the fields of agriculture, animal husbandry, trade, transportation, and others.
QC implemented 10,000 economic empowerment projects during 2018-2020, benefiting 55,000 people.
