Young people who take part into the Basic Education Employment Initiative (BEEI) need a focus on relevant and transferrable skills, workplace mentorship, contract periods and clear exist pathways. This is according to a report by Youth Capital. The advocacy campaign ran two online surveys; one with 2905 young people who took part into Phase One of the BEEI, and another one with some schools that hosted them. The report highlights the importance of these key factors when designing and implementing public programmes that can kickstart young people’s earning and economic activities.
