Entering the workplace as a young adult isn’t easy. Seeking out a good job that offers a meaningful and fulfilling career path can be stressful and trying, regardless of location or career track. Youth employment and employability are important globally, and the Alliance 4 YOUth organization has been helping young people from around the world gain meaningful work experience, internships and the skill sets they need to make the transition since 2014. With a strong foothold in Europe, the Alliance 4 YOUth, which Nielsen is a global partner in, recently launched with great success in the Middle East, North Africa and Pakistan (MENAP), significantly broadening the organization’s reach and impact.
2017년 2월 11일 두바이 아메리칸 대학교에서 열린 공식 출범식에는 닐슨과 얼라이언스의 다른 파트너사, 그리고 지역 내 여러 대학에서 온 150명의 젊은이들이 참석했습니다.
Arslan Ashraf, Managing Director of the Arabian Peninsula and Pakistan cluster at Nielsen, was on hand at the event to sign the pledge for Alliance 4 YOUth in the Middle East. Other Alliance 4 YOUth partner companies and organizations in attendance included UAE Ministry of Culture, Youth and Community Development, Moebi Logistics, LinkedIn, L’Oreal, HR Access, Emaar, Engie, Publicis and the American University of Dubai.
During the event, a panel discussed wide ranging topics around youth unemployment in the region, how the Alliance aims to reduce youth unemployment, as well as career advice to the young people in attendance that included workshops such as resume clinics facilitated by Nielsen, LinkedIn and L’Oreal. Students enjoy these events because they focus on providing advice to students about their resumes, how to present themselves in interviews and offering other tips and tricks that enhance their overall employability.
2014년에 네슬레가 시작한 Alliance 4 YOUth는 청년들이 일자리와 훈련 기회, 교육을 통해 경험과 취업 역량을 쌓을 수 있도록 지원함으로써 청년 고용을 촉진하는 기업 주도형 이니셔티브입니다. 이 단체의 파트너 기업들은 직원들을 동원하여 지역사회에 참여하고 실질적인 조언, 이력서 클리닉, 면접 준비 등을 통해 청년들의 취업 준비를 돕고 있습니다.
