Summary
Grant Overview
Workforce Development for At-Risk Youth in Israel
In Israel, socioeconomic disparities have created barriers to opportunities for many at-risk youth. With diverse populations including Arab, Jewish, and other minority groups, the challenge of providing equitable access to training and employment is significant. Unemployment rates among at-risk youth can reach upwards of 25%, intensifying the urgency for targeted interventions.
Many youths from underserved communities lack resources and support systems necessary to navigate the job market. As a result, there is a growing concern regarding youth engagement in criminal activities and the long-term societal costs associated with high unemployment. The need for technology-driven workforce development programs is therefore critical to provide pathways for these young individuals.
This funding opportunity is geared towards programs that deliver technology training specifically aimed at at-risk youth in Israel. Eligible organizations will develop curricula that incorporate market-relevant skills and equip participants to enter the digital economy. Key metrics for success will include job placement rates and the level of youth engagement in technology-related fields following their participation in the program.
To ensure effectiveness, organizations must demonstrate readiness by incorporating employer partnerships and mentorship opportunities that directly link training to employment. The goal is to create sustainable networks that empower youth not only in their personal growth but also in contributing positively to their communities, helping to bridge socioeconomic divides in Israel.
