In Liberia, 1/3 of the population is aged between 15 and 35. Furthermore, 1/3 of young people are unemployed and most of those who are employed occupy low skilled and unskilled jobs. From 2018 to 2024 the TVET project seeks to help about 5,565. Young Liberians acquire skills that will help improve their lives.
