Project Overview

Project Name: Workforce Mobility Support – Guidance for Local Youth Seeking International Opportunities

Objective: To empower local youth with the tools, skills, and networks needed to access and succeed in international job markets, aligning with UN SDGs 4 (Quality Education), 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and 10 (Reduced Inequalities).
Target Audience: Youth aged 18–30 from underserved communities in emerging economies, seeking global career opportunities.
Expected Impact: Equip 1,000 youth annually by 2027 with international placements, achieving a 40% income increase and 35% placement rate within six months.
Key Partners: LinkedIn Learning, British Council, U.S. Department of Labor, Talent Mobility Fund, local NGOs.
Funding Goal: $2.5M to scale operations across 10 countries by 2027.

Project Rationale

The global labor market faces a dual challenge: youth unemployment in developing regions (13.7% globally, per ILO) and workforce shortages in aging economies (85M job gaps by 2030, per OECD). Local youth often lack access to international job information, visa guidance, and skills alignment, trapping them in underemployment. The Workforce Mobility Support project, managed by Trend Nova’s HR Division, addresses these barriers through a structured, scalable program. By fostering legal mobility pathways, we enhance economic inclusion, reduce migration pressures, and support global workforce diversity, delivering measurable SDG impact.
