World Bank helps Haitian adolescents in skills training
Jul 15, 2013
WASHINGTON, CMC – The World Banks says it has aided young, vulnerable women in Haiti in successfully learning new skills in joining the labor force. Through a US$1 million grant, the Washington-based financial institution said the Haiti Adolescent Girls Initiative (AGI) has empowered young ladies, aged 17-20, to gain employment through non-traditional and soft-skills training and accompaniment. AGI works with Haitian young women, who are largely under-represented in formal labor markets, to “facilitate their school-to-work transition and improve their employment and earnings potential.”
